As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends as most interests are waiting for the Sep Carlot Sale next Tuesday nite. CME positions posted lower values today which weighed on the market as well. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand. Forest fires continue in the area resulting in heavy smoke that makes the air outside unhealthy.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
