Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was down 41 cents on June 30 to $376.99. The market will observe the July 4th Independence Day Holiday on Friday, for a 3-day weekend. Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $553.41, low $402.46, median $478.91 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
