Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough Stocker or feeder steers for accurate trends. Stocker and feeder heifers weak in a light test. CME Feeder cattle gave back $0.92 to $1.92 on the day. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was another 2 cents weaker on 5/3 at $155.75. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand for all classes. FAS Export Sales data showed 14,585 MT of beef was sold during the week that ended 4/28. That was up 27% from last week, but still under the 15k MT sold two weeks back and the 17k MT from the same week last year. The report also had 20,338 MT of beef exports from the week, which was up 15% wk/wk and 10% yr/yr. Accumulated beef exports are outpacing last year by 2.4% with 309,0333 MT shipped out through 4/28.
