USDA MARKET NEWS--AFTERNOON CATTLE REPORT    09/29/26  

DTN COMMENTS:

Throughout the day bids of $350 were offered in Nebraska  but no cattle 
traded. It is interesting to noted, however, that bids surfaced as early as 
Tuesday. That could indicate that following last weeks light trade that 
packers are shorter bought that what theyre necessarily comfortable with. 
Still, asking prices remain elusive and trade isnt expected to develop until 
later in the week.
