As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends.. Supply this week most small lots and single. CME Feeder cattle also closed in the black, though the gains were limited to 75 cents across the front months. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $1.17 higher at $248.07 on 3/6. Slaughter cows 6.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade very active with very good demand.
