Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday, Stocker cattle less than 700 lbs 1.00-3.00 lower. Feeder cattle over 700 lbs 2.00-3.00 higher. CME Feeder cattle also turned south in the afternoon, ending the session with $0.85 to $1.55 losses. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was 61 cents higher on 2/8 to $162.04. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher as beef cows are in short supply. Not enough slaughter bulls for accurate trends. Trade active with good demand. USDA reported weekly beef export sales were 19,500 MT during the week during 2/3. That was down 3% wk/wk but was up by 11% yr/yr. Beef exports from the weekly data showed 14,579 MT. That left the YTD export at 68,464 MT – trailing last year by 19%.
