As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers over 800 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower and heifers over 800 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd. The bulk of the offering was yearling steers and heifers coming off the summer grass with some coming out of the grow yards. Some packages of preg checked open heifers and bawling spring calves also sold in the mix.
