This was the fall Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale. Compared to two weeks ago steers under 600 lbs. were 5.00 higher, while the 600-750 lb. steers were 3.00-6.00 lower. The steers over 750 lbs. sold steady to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550 lbs. were 3.00-10.00 higher, while the 600-850 lb. heifers were mostly 3.00-6.00 lower. Heifers over 900 lbs. were 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand was good for the heavy offerings. Several lot loads were in the offerings.
