As filed

Compared to last Thursday, Stocker steers less than 700 lbs weak in a light test. Not enough heifers or feeder steers for accurate trends. CME Feeder cattle trading also saw triple digit losses, ending the day $0.82 to $1.37 in the red. October feeders expired at $156.67. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $156.03 on 10/26 up by 53 cents. Buyer attendance was light to moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00-4.00 higher. Grass fed and feeding cows pushed the market higher. Trade active with good demand and good buyer attendance. Beef export sales were a 13 week high of 19,192 MT. South Korea was the top buyer, though China, Japan, Mexico and Taiwan were all contributors.
