As filed

Compared to last Thursday, Stocker and feeder cattle weak to 6.00 lower. Quality not as attractive as last week as many lots today where unvaccinated. Feeders also rallied triple digits on Thursday, gaining $3+ in the 2021 contracts. The 10/6 CME Feeder Cattle Index bounced 92 cents to $153.80. Slaughter cows and bulls unevenly steady. Trade active with good demand especially for grass fed offerings. USDA’s weekly data release showed 15,633 MT of beef was sold for export during the week of 9/30. That was down 3% wk/wk and down by 37% form the same week last year. China was the top buyer, with 6k MT booked. Total commitments to China sit at 142,126 MT, which is 123% above last year’s total commitments – which in itself was 522% above the previous record.
