*THERE WILL NOT BE A SALE NEXT MONDAY 9/2/2024*

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and bulls 500lb to 600lb sold $14.00 to $20.00 lower while feeder heifers 500lb to 600lb sold steady to $16.00 lower. This week's offerings consisted mostly of thin flesh claves with a few offerings of fleshy unweaned calves, which were discounted heavily. Demand was moderate to low. Slaughter cattle sold steady.
