As filed

Trade activity and demand was moderate to good. Dairy heifers traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Average dress slaughter cows traded 1.00 to 4.00 higher, while there weren't enough slaughter bull receipts to trend. Also no trend available on feeder steers and heifers due to low receipts. Next available report will be Thursday, February 6, 2025.
