Compared with last week steers sold unevenly steady with 500 lbs heifers selling 6.00 lower and harvest cows and bulls selling steady to 2.00 higher. There was a good crowd on hand today for big strings and packages of mainly preconditioned bawling calves. Trade today was good with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Gordon's next sale will be a feeder calf special November 19.
