Compared to last week: Slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded 2.00 higher. Feeding cows traded 1.50 to 1.75 higher. In feeder cattle, dairy heifers under 1150 lbs traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher, while those over 1150 lbs traded steady to 2.00 lower. All other feeder cattle classes were too thinly tested for comparison. Replacement cattle had no comparisons from last week on a very thin test. Trade activity and demand were moderate. The next available report will be Thursday, June 10, 2021.
