No recent test of market for an accurate comparison a trend will not be given for steers or heifers. Demand was good with several buyers and active bidding from the internet. Special note: High demand today for load lots of HR Hereford offerings. A few consignments today, due to drought concerns in the area. Next Auction Dates: May 4th Special Fall Calves and Yearlings
