Compared to the special Labor Day auction two weeks ago steers under 700 lbs. were sharply lower, while those over 700 lbs. were 4.00-7.00 lower. Heifers 450-500 lbs. were 3.00 lower and the 900-950 lb. heifers were 3.00 lower, while the rest of the heifers were sharply lower. Demand was moderate to good for the moderate offerings. Offerings included several drafts of unweaned calves.
