Compared to last week: Slaughter cows traded 2.00 lower to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 5.00 lower. Feeding cows too thinly tested to trend. Replacement cattle did not have enough comparisons to accurately trend. Trade activity moderate. The next available report will be Thursday, October 1, 2020.
