As filed

Compared to the last sale; Steer calves 300-600 lbs sold 3.00-10.00 higher with the exception of 350-400 lbs being 2.00 lower.Heifer calves 300-500 lbs were 600-9.00 lower except for 550-600 lbs being 7.00 higher. Steer and heifer feeder yearlings had insufficient numbers to compare. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 3.00-4.00 lower. Demand and market were very good on all classes. Smaller numbers because of Labor Day. Excellent buyer attendance.
