As filed

Heavy run for the Feeder Special today, especially considering how far into the fall season it is and a lot of quality in the offering. Board Sale results for this morning listed below as Steers-Large 1 for reporting purposes though the description noted 60% L and 40% M on the load, coming off grass and weight stop at 900. Average in-barn attendance and trade stayed active throughout. Feeder Steers higher this week by nigh $15 per cwt in the 4 weights and $10 per cwt higher for the middle and heavy end of the run. Lighter Feeder Heifers saw a sharp decline while 5 weights were somewhat stronger, and 6 weights sold steady compared to last. Slaughter Bulls sold steady as did average dress Cows, Boner type Cows spot on to last week, Lean Cows lower by $10 per cwt. Small run of Slaughter Hogs, $60-$65 per cwt, Feeder Pigs, $35.
