*Special Cow Sale Next Tuesday, October 21st*

Compared to last week, steers weighing 450 to 550 lbs and 650 to 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher with two loads of steers weighing 964 lbs selling 20.00 higher. While steers weighing 550 to 650 lbs and 800 to 950 lbs sold 2.00 to 7.00 lower. Heifers weighing 450 to 850 lbs sold 7.00 to 15.00 higher with the exception of 550 to 600 lb heifers selling 4.00 lower and 850 lb heifers selling 12.00 lower. Steers and heifers under 450 lbs not enough for market test. Very good demand for a moderate supply.
