Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were good to very good. Slaughter cows traded 2.50 to 3.50 higher. Feeding cows traded 3.75 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 4.00 higher on a very thin test. Dairy heifers traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher on a light test. All other classes of cattle were too thinly tested for an accurate comparison. The next available report will be Thursday, March 3, 2022.
