As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle for accurate trends. Feeder cattle futures are trading higher through midday with gains of as much as 67 cents so far. The CME Feeder Cattle Index for 12/20 was 13 cents higher to $178.14. Slaughter cows 9.00-13.00 higher. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade very active with very good demand. Weekly FAS data showed 4,518 MT of beef was sold for '22 export during the week that ended 12/15. Japan was the top buyer with 3.5k MT for 2022 delivery, and 2.6k MT for 2023 delivery. The week's total 2023 sales were 7.2k MT for a forward book of 50,889 MT. That trails last year's forward book by 18%.
