As filed

There was no comparison calculated considering this is the first reported sale for the fall season at St. Onge Livestock. There were several moderate strings of attractive, green steers. Several small strings of open heifers were also in attractive condition. 35 percent of the offerings were heifers and 65 percent were steers. Next Yearling Special is September 6, 2019.
