As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00 higher. Feeder dairy heifers sold unevenly steady. Feeder cattle, bred cattle, and cow/calf pairs too thinly traded for an accurate market trend. The next available report will be Thursday, July 22, 2021.
