Compared to Last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle firm in a light test. CME Feeder cattle futures were up anywhere from a tick to 92 cents on Thursday as September rolled off the board. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was back down 10 cents at $244.30 on September 25. Dairy Slaughter cows uneven boning type 2.00-4.00 lower, Lean type 2.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter beef cows scarce today. Slaughter bulls weak in a light test. With an interest out of the market. Trade moderate to active with light to moderate demand.
