Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers sold 10.00-15.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. The quality of the offering was above average with several multi-pot load drafts of yearling steers in the offering. One stick-out draft was 224 head of 924 lb. steers that brought 237.25. There was a large crowd ringside as Ozarks Regional Stockyard celebrated its 40th Anniversary with a customer appreciation Bar-B-Que.
