As filed

Friday's auction had light receipts of feeders selling mostly in small packages and singles were lightly tested. There was a nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers trading steady with last week with slaughter cows also selling steady on mostly average and low dressing cows. Feeder cattle special next week, September 12.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.62, low $346.27, median $407.03 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
