As filed

Due to no market reports since August 19, there were little comparisons, but the steers and heifers sold mostly 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls trended lower. Demand was not established and the supply was light.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.44, low $386.16, median $455.18 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
