As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle for accurate trends. CME Feeder cattle futures are down by 12 cents to $1.92 led lower by August contract. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $90.42 on 2/20, up by $1.15. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00-4.00 higher. Trade very active with very good demand.
