As filed

Compared to last Tuesday at the same market, stocker and feeder cattle 3.00-9.00 lower as supply exceeds demand as growyards are at capacity and regional sale barns are offering big supplies. Feeder cattle closed Tuesday mixed, as the front months were up by $1.05 and 70 cents respectively to a 67c loss in Mar '24. The CME Feeder Cattle Index for 10/09 was $250.26, back up by 53 cents.
