As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder steers weak, heifers firm in a light test. Feeder cattle futures finished the Thursday trade with triple digit gains of as much as 0.7%. The 10/11 CME Feeder Cattle Index increased 51 cents to $250.30. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 lower. Not enough slaughter bulls for accurate trends. Trade moderate with light to moderate demand.
