Compared to the last sale (September 1, 2026): Feeder steers and heifers were 
overall too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend. However, a 
higher undertone was noted for feeder cattle over 800 lbs. Quality this week 
was mostly average to attractive. Demand for feeder cattle was moderate to 
good, especially for sets of attractive tested open heifers. Slaughter cows and 
bulls overall sold steady to 2.00 higher. Demand for slaughter cattle was light 
for a light sale supply.
