As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows traded 1.00 to 2.50 higher, while slaughter bulls traded steady. Feeding cows traded steady to 4.00 higher. Replacement cattle did not have enough comparable trades to accurately trend and feeder cattle were too thinly tested to quote. Trade activity and demand were good. The next available report will be Thursday, July 30, 2020.
