As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Feeder cattle futures ended the day with $2.42 to $2.82 losses, but were $1.20 off their lows. The 7/5 CME Feeder Cattle Index was $2.54 lower to $230.26. Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 lower. Trade active with very good demand as Holstein type cows out sell beef type cows.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
