Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle steady to firm. Quality more attractive this week with good buyer attendance. Feeder cattle futures firmed on Thursday, but closed off their highs on 30 to 45 cent gains. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $1.17 higher to $180.31 on 9/7. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 lower as fall runs are starting. Slaughter bulls steady in a light test. Trade active with good demand.
