As filed

Based on limited comparisons last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 4.00 to 8.00 higher. A high quality offering with more receipts and long weaned and vaccinated cattle than have been in the offerings of the last few weeks. Cooler temperatures and the first signs of fall drove down demand for unweaned calves significantly. Supply was moderate to heavy and demand good for the quality long weaned cattle this week.
