As filed

Since the market report was not available for last week, no comparisons are available. The cooler weather increased livestock movement today. This week wraps up most of the county fairs in the area which contributed to more participation and good demand.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $267.56, low $220.81, median $240.71 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
