USDA MARKET NEWS--AFTERNOON CATTLE REPORT    09/23/26  

DTN COMMENTS:

Some light dressed cattle sales were noted in Nebraska at $350 which is steady 
with last weeks weighted average but not enough cattle have traded to say 
that any sort of a trend has been established yet for the week. Packer demand 
should improve more on Thursday, but with feedlot managers hoping to advance 
the market again this week  trade could be delayed until Friday.
