Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle last week for accurate trends. Quality this week more attractive as buyer's could buy larger lots. CME Feeder cattle futures went home mixed in the front months. April and May closed red, while the deferreds held on to triple digit gains. The CME Feeder Cattle Index for 4/5 was 22 cents lower to $155.54. Slaughter cows and bulls 3.00-6.00 higher as demand out paces supply. Trade very active with very good demand. Weekly Export Sales data showed 14,030 MT of beef was sold during the week that ended 3/31. That was the lowest since the week of Jan 13. Shipments were 19,274 MT during the same week, Japan and South Korea were the top destinations.
