As filed

Compared with two weeks ago 900 - 1000 lbs steers sold 4.00-6.00 higher while harvest cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher with bulls being 2.00 lower. There was a moderate crowd on hand today for good strings of yearling type cattle as well as packages of pregged open heifers and bawling calves. Trade was moderate with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a feeder calf special October 16.
