As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers too lightly tested for a complete comparison, steady to lower undertones prevailed. Holstein steers not well tested. Moderate demand for this light offering of steers and heifers, cattle feeders are busy with harvest and not wanting to take the time to get out of the combine to haul cattle to town, which resulted in a light run this week. Trade activity only moderate as packers were determined to buy fat cattle lower as Oct Live Cattle futures are at 182.75. 2 full loads of steers offered, balance packages of steers heifers. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 lower, bulls 2.00 to 4.00 lower.

Slaughter lambs 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for lambs, best demand for shorn lambs as recent rain had the wooled lambs dirty. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 lower.
