As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle offered this holiday week for accurate trends. CME Feeder Cattle Index was up $1.00 to $314.10 on July 1. Today will be the last trade day of the week due to Independence Day on Friday. The government will also be closed. Slaughter cows steady due to good demand for the end product. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand.

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