Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared with two weeks ago 850 and 950 lbs steers sold 7.00-8.00 higher with 900 lbs steers selling 2.00 lower while slaughter cows and bulls selling 3.00 higher with no other comparisons. There was a good crowd on hand today for big strings of yearling type calves coming off of grass as well as packages of pregged open heifers. Trade was good today with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a special yearling sale September 11.
