Compared with two weeks ago 900 lbs steers sold 8.00 higher with no other comparisons with the exception of harvest cows and bulls which sold unevenly steady. There was a good crowd on hand today for some big strings of yearling type calves coming off of grass as well as packages of tested open heifers. Trade was good today with demand being good as well. Sheridan's next sale will be a special yearling and feeder sale October 9.
