Compared to last week: Combined weighted average report for 4 Colorado auction markets included: Winter Livestock, La Junta Livestock, Sterling Livestock, and Livestock Exchange. Trade activity and demand moderate to good. It continues to be a slow start to the fall run with few calves hitting the barns. Feeder cattle markets lightly tested.

Heifers under 500 lbs lightly tested at 1.00 to 5.00 lower, 500-700 lbs steady to 6.00 higher and over 750 lbs too thinly tested for a market trend.
