As filed

A much lighter offer than last week with best test on steers 850 to 899 lbs and 950 to 999 lbs steady. Heifers not well compared. Moderate to good demand for yearlings today. A couple strings available, both off grass and out of yards, and a handful of loads and packages. Some heavy flesh at times on yard cattle, grass cattle in light to moderate flesh. A moderate market seen for this offering. A much larger offering expected next Friday, October 16, the 45th Annual Anniversary Sale, featuring both yearlings and the first offering of spring calves.
