Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared with last week steers sold 2.00-4.00 lower with the exception of 600 lbs steers which sold steady while heifers sold 2.00 higher. Harvest cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher. There was a moderate crowd on hand today for strings and packages of mainly preconditioned calves strait off the cow as well as yearling type cattle. Trade today was moderate with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a feeder calf special November 6.
