As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Most offerings today where small lots and singles. At the close, feeder cattle futures were down by $0.82 to $1.02. The 7/6 CME Feeder Cattle Index was $2.19 weaker to $162.90. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher with most advance on lean cows. Slaughter bulls weak in a light test. Trade active with good demand. Converted FAS data suggest 321m lbs of beef was exported during the month of May. That is a new monthly record for any month, and marks the 4th respective month's record for the year. YTD beef shipments reached 1.47b lbs through the first 5 months.
