The USDA's November 10 daily report recorded 324 head in negotiated cash cattle purchases, matching the prior week but below the year-earlier 458 head. Negotiated grid-base purchases totaled 724 head, up from 553 a week earlier and down from 793 a year earlier.
Sparse negotiated cash trading offers little fresh price discovery, while grid-based volumes give a mixed signal on cattle-market activity. The report does not indicate a direct change in feed demand or feed-commodity supply.
