As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Cows and bulls returning to feed sold unevenly steady. Dairy feeder heifers 1100-1300 lbs sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher on a light test. Feeder cattle were too thinly tested to trend. Today's run included a few big drafts of yearling heifers carrying quality and condition. The next available report will be Thursday, June 17, 2021.
