Compared to last week,  7 and 9 weight steers sold 2.00 lower, 8 weight steers 
sold 8.00 lower, 1000-1050 weight steers sold 6.00 lower.  Heifers from 600 to 
700 lbs sold steady, 7 weights sold 1.00 lower, 8 weights sold 10.00 lower with 
9 weights trading 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to instance good. Bulk of the 
receipts were yearling weight cattle with some out of grow yards. Bidding at 
area auctions a little slower paced than recent weeks. The auctioneers asked 
for .50 and 1.00 bids most of the time instead of the 2.50 to 5.00 bids when 
the market was ticking upward earlier this summer. Few, gloomy faces from the 
sellers as some yearling cattle might have been getting close to the red mark, 
something a yearling seller hasn't faced in several years. Area feedlots would 
be selling slaughter most negotiated cash steers and heifers at a lost. Live 
sales sold 4.00 to 7.00 lower from 218.00 to 222.00 and dressed sales sold 9.00 
to 13.00 lower from 342.00 to 345.00. The higher live prices came at the week's 
close as packers were still looking for some inventory.
