Compared with last week 500-550 lbs steers sold 4.00-6.00 higher while 450 and 600 lbs sold 2.00-3.00 higher, 500-550 lbs heifers sold 5.00-8.00 higher with 450 and 600 lbs heifers sold 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00-5.00 lower. There was a good crowd on hand today for good strings and packages of mainly preconditioned calve coming strait off the cow. Trade was good with with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a feeder calf special October 30.
