As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle weak in a light test. Today's supply mostly small lots and singles. CME Feeders are also mixed, but are mostly higher for Thursday. The 12/05 CME Feeder Cattle Index was $224.23, another 45 cent increase. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls weak. Trade active with light to moderate demand.
