As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker steers and heifers less than 550 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 550 lbs weak in a light test. Buyer attendance was light. CME Feeders settled about $1.50 under their day's high with $0.05 to $0.90 losses on the board. Slaughter cows 10.00-12.00 lower as supply exceeds demand. Slaughter bulls weak in a light test with an interest out of the market for cows and bulls. Trade active with light to moderate demand. Weekly Export Sales data showed 16,351 MT of beef bookings for the week that ended 9/29. South Korea was the top buyer with 6k MT. Beef exports were listed at 18,360 MT, mostly to South Korea and Japan. Total beef shipments for the year remain at record pace with 719,408 MT shipped through 9/29.
