Special Note: * No sale next week due to Labor Day Holiday *

Compared to last week: Steers with comparable trades unevenly steady with instances of 5.00 lower. Heifers were 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Quality was plain with few attractive groups and demand was moderate, demand increased with larger groups. Slaughter cows were 10.00 to 15.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 5.00 higher. Hot and dry conditions remain and will continue over the next several days.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $488.56, low $381.42, median $452.38 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
