NATIONAL FEEDER CATTLE
SUMMARY for week ending Dec. 28.
Due to low auction and direct trade re
ceipts during the Holiday week a trend
was not established, and a report will not
be published today. Auction barn and
direct trade activity was very quiet this
week. Feeder and live cattle futures
traded in an abbreviated session on
Monday, and closed out the week with
modest gains. Direct feedyard trade has
not been established at the time of this
report. This report will resume on
Friday, Jan. 4.
