Compared with two weeks ago, 550 to 700 lbs steers traded steady to 14.00 higher and comparable heifer offerings 400 to 550 lbs offerings traded steady to 9.00 lower and 600 lbs heifers traded 9.00 higher. Demand was good with several buyers for light weight grass calves. Some yearling offerings at the barn today due to grass conditions. The Sandhills have been getting a few rain showers and pastures are slowly greening up. Next auction Date May 17th Special Bred Cow and Pair Auction
