Feeders on the CME were higher nearby, gaining $1.15 in September, but were 27 to 40 cents red in the deferred months. The 9/14 CME Feeder Cattle Index was $154.20 after a 19-cent drop. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls weak in a light test. Trade active with good demand. The weekly Export Sales report showed 15,339 MT of beef were booked during the week ending 9/9.
