Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Slaughter cows traded unevenly steady, while slaughter bulls traded steady. Feeding cows traded mostly 0.50 to 1.25 higher. Replacement cattle traded mostly steady on comparable trades and feeder cattle did not have enough comparisons to accurately trend.

Slaughter cattle
