No comparable cattle for a market trend.
Demand was moderate, instances good.
But, prospective buyers are having a hard time getting cattle priced 
at a place where they think they can be in the black when they leave the 
feedlot finished.
Backgrounders and feedlots in full swing of fall harvest with sileage 
chopping and starting on high moisture corn, especially in Nebraska.
Several contacts have chopped more sileage than normal due to the high 
cost of baled hay.
Spotty rain showers in both regions with a lot of dense fog in the Cornhusker 
state throughout the last seven days.
Feedlot trade is steady for the most part on the dressed sales at 350.00.
With live sales steady to 1.00 lower from 222.00 to 223.00.
 
Supply included:  100% Feeder Cattle (100% Steers).
Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 100%.
Unless otherwise noted, Feeder Cattle prices FOB based on net weights 
after a 2-3% shrink or equivalent, with a 12-15 cent slide > 600 lbs.
