Slaughter Cattle:

As of 3:00 PM Wednesday, negotiated cash trade was limited on light to moderate demand in all feeding regions. A very limited amount of early live purchases in the Southern Plains and Nebraska were reported at 109.00. However, not enough purchases in any feeding region for an adequate market test. The latest established market in any feeding region was last week with live purchases in the Southern Plains at 108.00. Last week in Nebraska, live purchases traded from 109.00-111.00 with dressed purchases mostly from 173.00-175.00.
