As filed

Compared to two weeks ago on comparable weights steers sold steady. Yearling heifers sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was good. Most lots came off of dry hard grass pastures. Some lots of preg open heifers in the run coming off of replacement heifers. Bred cows are fall calving in August and September. Next Special Calf and Yearling sale in two weeks on Aug 20th.
