Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Light feeder movement this week with what is hopefully the last of the high heat index readings for this year. The cattle outlook continues to be favorable with excellent beef demand and shrinking on feed numbers with Fridays Cattle on Feed report showing the third straight month of low placements. This fall is shaping up to be a good test of the health of the cattle market as we see if packers are able to continue to ration beef and keep a lid on fed prices with exorbitant cutout values or whether supply and demand can push prices to or above the current December board at 137.40/cwt.
