As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was down 41 cents on June 30 to $376.99. The market will observe the July 4th Independence Day Holiday on Friday, for a 3-day weekend. Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand.
