USDA MARKET NEWS--AFTERNOON CATTLE REPORT    09/03/26  

DTN COMMENTS:

Throughout the day bids of $219 to eventually $220 were offered in the South, 
but no new sales were noted. With feedlot managers seeing the boards rally 
today, theyre hopeful to keep prices as close to steady as possible. There 
was some trade noted earlier in the week at $219 live ($3.00 lower than last 
weeks weighted average) in the South and $344 to $345 in the North (steady 
to $1.00 lower than last weeks weighted average).
