TCR's cattle market index rose 1.94% from the previous day but was down 2.78% from and up 3.84% from . USDA reported light to moderate negotiated cash trade in Nebraska, with dressed purchases $2.00 lower than last week at $335-340, and a limited market test in the Western Cornbelt.
Lower dressed fed cattle prices and softer recent trend point to weaker feeder and fed cattle values, which matters for feed demand from cattle feeders. Demand signals are light, so the price direction is bearish for live cattle.
