Compared to two weeks ago steers over 650 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher except 850 lbs offerings sold 5.00 higher. Heifers sold unevenly steady on a light test. Variety of weights, kind and types on the bi-weekly auction. Bawling spring calves, yearling feeders mostly off grass, cow/calf pairs with some bred cows in the run. Most of the spring calves had only springtime vaccinations. Weekly auctions will start on October 6th.
