As filed

This is the last Thursday sale for a month. All classes of livestock will be sold on Mondays for the month of June. Due to the light run, the only comparable steer weight classes were 800 to 950 lb steers and they sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. On the heifers, 750 to 800 lb heifers sold steady to .50 lower. The receipts were light and the demand was light to moderate.
