As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Most of the offerings today where small lots and singles. Buyer attendance was light. CME Feeder cattle also faded on the day, settling $0.12 to $1 weaker. The CME Feeder Cattle Index dropped 45 cents on 10/04 to $251.45. Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady in a light test. Trade moderate with light to moderate demand.
