No recently tested market for an accurate comparison, undertone mostly lower. Buyers and sellers were all ready to get back to business after a late summer break, with many curious to see where the cash trade would shake out after several weeks of light movement and sideways market action. Several load lots and large drafts were on offer throughout the day, a mix of home raised and backgrounded cattle. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
