Compared to last week yearling steers sold 7.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was good. Only one consigner at Ogallala Livestock Auction on Thursday comprised of load lots of mostly black hided steers with some reds in the run. Short summer grass and lack of drinking water brought this large string of cattle to the auction. Prices held firm throughout the sale even though the CME cattle boards sold lower throughout their session and buyers did not back off from filling empty pens. Area feedlots traded at 393.00 dressed and some at 248.00 live.
