Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle last week for accurate trends. Quality more attractive this week with larger consignments. Buyer attendance was good both ringside and on the internet. Feeder cattle were down 2 to 80 cents on Thursday. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was up another dime on 9/7 to $157.47. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 lower with an interest out of the market as supply exceeds demand. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 higher. Trade active with moderate to good demand.
