Compared to two weeks ago, a light test of steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Pretty short run again this week on an unseasonably warm day for mid September. Harvest is in full swing as local farmers take advantage of a (very) dry stretch of weather ahead of a much needed rain in the forecast for the weekend. Supply light, demand moderate.
