As filed

Trade activity and demand was good. Dairy heifers traded mostly 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Average dress slaughter cows traded mostly 1.00 to 4.00 higher, while average dress slaughter bulls traded steady. No trend available on feeder steers and heifers due to low receipts. Next available report will be Thursday, June 5, 2025.
