CME Feeders stayed in the black during the afternoon pullback, going home UNCH to 37 cents higher on the day. The CME Feeder Cattle Index from 2/08 was $182.53, up by 24. Slaughter cows steady. Not enough Slaughter bulls for accurate trends. Trade active with good demand. Weekly Export Sales data showed 16,412 MT of beef bookings from the week that ended 2/02. That was down from 2 weeks of +25k MT sold, and was 15% below the sales from the same week last year.
