As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly steady to 3.00 lower, heifers 6.00 to 7.00 higher. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. The fall calf run is in full swing with a number of unweaned strings showing up but without a lot of evident discounts. Several highlights throughout the day included some 5 weight heifers that saw some lively trade as well as some loads of 8 weight steers bringing as much or more than their lighter counterparts. Supply moderate, demand good.
