As filed

Compared to Thursday, Stocker and feeder cattle firm in a light test. CME Feeder cattle futures closed Thursday $1.10 to $1.32 in the red. May feeders expired at $154.57 on a two cent dip to be settled against the index. The 5/25 CME Feeder Cattle Index was $153.80, up by 45 cents. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 higher as the shortened holiday week next week will make cull cows scarce. Slaughter bulls steady to firm. Trade active with good demand. USDA reported 20,010 MT of beef sales from the week that ended 5/19. That was down from the last two weeks and from the same week last year. Export shipments from the week were tallied as 17,508 MT. That was an 11 week low, but kept the YTD shipments at a record pace of 366,129 MT.
