As filed

Compared to two weeks ago steers over 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher with a flat 700 lbs steer 7.00 higher. Heifers 700 to 850 lbs sold steady to 6.00 higher, over 850 lbs sold sharply higher on the day. Not enough bawling calves for a market comparison. Demand was good from start to finish with heavy offering of mostly yearlings off summer grass and some bawling calves in the mix. Yearling buyers fought over today's large strings as many feedlots do not want to wean a bawling calf so they are willing to pay up for a yearlings. Next sale will be Wednesday September 7 along with a monthly video auction.
