As filed

Compared to last week, steers weighing 400lbs to 600lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 lower, and over 600lbs steady to 5.00 lower. The best test of 400lb to 650lb heifers sold mostly 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Quality was below average of the runs of the past couple weeks. Dry conditions in the area with low hay yields and dwindling pastures are the talk of the barn, and push calves and held back replacements to town. Demand was moderate to light on a moderate supply. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady on a moderate supply. A full herd dispersal was included in the offering and brought some nice replacements that created good demand.
