As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Heifer comparison was on 7 weights as they sold 6.00 higher. Demand was good for yearlings and fall calves. Some of the fall calves were bawlers coming right off the cow. Flesh scores varied from thin flesh to fleshy. Bulk of the run came off of short summer grass. Next special sale will be in two week's on July 28.
