Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Slaughter cows traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 4.50 lower. Feeding cows traded 1.00 to 6.00 higher. Dairy heifers traded steady to 1.50 higher on a thinner test. Replacement cattle had too few comparisons to accurately trend and feeder cattle were too thinly tested to quote. The next available report will be Thursday, July 15, 2021.
