As filed

Total receipts were 805 compared to 1,315 last week. A lighter run due to the Labor Day holiday. Lightweight feeder steers and heifers under 500 lbs. were 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder steers over 500 lbs. were 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers over 500 lbs. were steady to 5.00 higher. Very strong demand on the quality replacement type heifers. The slaughter cattle market was cheaper with slaughter cows and bulls selling down 10.00 to 16.00.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $462.13, low $332.08, median $420.99 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

This sale against other markets

Texas weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Texas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
