Compared to last sale (two weeks ago), steers over 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher; under 600 lbs were sharply higher when compared with limited volume two weeks ago. Heifers sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher with the largest gain in heifers under 700 lbs. Demand was good to very good with many buyers in attendance for their annual Labor Day and BBQ sale. Supply was heavy with several loads of yearlings on offer. There were some sets of unweaned spring calves in the offering as well.
