As filed

Compared to last Monday: No comparison from last Monday due to the Labor day holiday. Calves were sharply lower than two weeks ago due to sharply lower fat cattle prices last week. Cash slaughter cattle traded Friday at 99.00 to 102.00 6.00 lower than the previous week. We had a moderate supply of calves with moderate demand. We also had a moderate supply of slaughter cows and bulls with moderate demand. Slaughter cow and bull prices were near steady from two weeks ago.
