*Special Cow Sale Next Tuesday, October 20th*

Compared to last week's regular sale, steers sold mostly steady to 10.00 higher. Heifers weighing 450 - 500 lbs and 650 - 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.00 lower with heifers weighing 500 - 649 lbs selling steady to 10.00 higher. Several lots of unweaned, vaccinated calves today. Good demand for a lighter supply.
