Compared to last Thursday, Stocker cattle less than 700 lbs 2.00-8.00 lower. Not enough feeder cattle over 700 lbs for accurate trends. Feeder cattle futures gave back $2.07 to $2.40 on the day, despite the weakness in corn, with September rolling off the board at $153.92. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $154.66 on 9/28, which was another 15 cents lower but still 74 cents above Sept. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower with an interest out of the market. Slaughter bulls steady in a light test. Trade slow to moderate with light to moderate demand. Beef export sales were a 9 week high according to USDA’s weekly Export Sales report, with 16.1k MT sold. Japan was the week’s top buyer with 5.5k MT. Beef exports were 18,544 MT during the week that ended 9/23, which left the accumulated shipment at 688,660 MT.
