A limited number of comparable offerings from two weeks ago, with 1000 - 1050 lbs steers trading $13 to $23 higher. Demand was very good with several buyers and active internet bidding. Several rain showers in the area for the past couple of weeks. Sandhills pasture grasses are recovering, putting baling hay meadows on hold. Next Auction Date Aug 6th Special Feeder Cattle Auction, Weigh Ups at 9:00am
