No recent test of market for an accurate comparison a trend will not be given for steer of heifers. Demand was good with high internet activity. A good crowd on hand for the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Auction, with cooler weather in the area and several rain showers. Next Auction Date: Aug 23rd
