Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Buyer attendance was light to moderate. CME Feeder cattle are 60 to 77 cents in the red so far. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $202.70 on 5/02, down by 12 cents. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady. Trade active with good demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
