As filed

Compared to two weeks ago yearling steers off of grass sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Not enough heifers or light weight steers for a market comparison. Demand was good. Majority of the yearlings sold in load lots with buyers procuring several loads at a time. Light run of slaughter cows and bulls for a mid July sale. Next special calf and yearling sale will be July 29 .
