As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle firm in a light test. CME feeder cattle market led the way on Thursday with 0.56% to 0.88% front month gains of triple digits. August feeders closed up by $2.12, and got to within $2.50 of their LoC high. Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand. USDA reported the weekly beef export business at 12k MT for the week that ended 6/22. That was down from 13.3k MT last week and was 3k MT lighter than the rolling 5-week average. USDA had 15k MT of shipments for a full year total of 397k MT through 6/22.
