As filed

Compared to last Thursday, Stocker and feeder cattle 7.00-11.00 higher. Quality more attractive this week due to increased receipts. Buyer attendance was good. CME feeder cattle took advantage of the weaker grain markets and added triple digits to the upside. Gains for the front months were limited to $1.22. The CME's Feeder Cattle Index was 50 cents higher to $181 flat on 8/24. Slaughter cows and bulls firm to 3.00 higher. Trade very active with very good demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
