As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate to good. Slaughter cows traded 1.00 to 2.50 higher, while slaughter bulls traded 4.50 higher. Feeding cows traded unevenly steady. Replacement cattle were too thinly tested to quote. Feeder cattle had no comparison on very light receipts. The next available report will be Thursday, May 21, 2020.
