As filed

Compared to last week: We had some thin fleshed off grass steers under 1000 lbs. that were dollars higher. Steers 1050-1150 lbs. were 5.00 higher. We also had some light heifers that were dollars higher. Demand was very good . There will be NO AUCTION next week, due to SD state Fair. Next auction will be Sept 7th.
