As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, yearling steers sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher and yearling heifers sold 2.00 higher. Not enough lighter calves for a market comparison. Demand was good from start to finish on the light summer run. Some of the yearlings came off of summer grass and some out of back-grounding lots. Next week will be a special fall bred cow and pair sale. In two weeks will be special calf and feeder auction along with a video auction.
