No recent test of market for an accurate comparison a trend will not be given for steers or heifers. Demand was good for all offerings for home raised Sandhills yearlings. Several inches of rain again in the Sanhills, and expected more rain this evening. Next Auction Dates: Sept. 25th Special Fall Calf & Yearling Auction
