As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher, while bulls traded 1.75 higher. Feeding cows were mostly steady. Replacement cattle did not have enough comparisons to accurately trend, though a firm undertone was noted. Feeder cattle were too thinly tested last week for any comparison. The next available report will be Thursday, July 2, 2020.
