As filed

Trade activity and demand was good. Dairy heifers traded 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Average dress slaughter cows traded steady on the Lean and Boner cows, while the average dress Premium Whites and Breaker cows traded mostly 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Average dress slaughter bulls traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher. No trend available on feeder steers and heifers due to limited receipts. Next available report will be Thursday, May 15, 2025.
