Compared with last week 450 and 600 lbs steers sold 7.00-9.00 higher 500-550 lbs steers selling 3.00-5.00 higher while heifers sold 2.00-4.00 higher and harvest cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. There was a good crowd on hand today for big strings and packages of mainly preconditioned bawling calves. Trade today was good with demand being good throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a feeder calf special November 13.
