As filed

Friday's auction had light receipts of feeders selling mostly in small packages and singles were lightly tested. There was a nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers trading steady with last week with slaughter cows also selling steady on mostly average and low dressing cows. Feeder cattle special next week, September 12.
