Compared to last week: Slaughter cows traded 1.00 to 2.00 lower, while slaughter bulls traded 3.00 higher. Feeding cows traded unevenly steady and dairy heifers traded steady. No other classes of cattle had enough comparisons for an accurate market trend. Trade activity and demand were moderate. The next available report will be Thursday, June 30, 2022.
