Sale Comments
There was an excellent offering of 837 consisting of 494 steers and 343 heifers.
Demand was very strong with steer prices well above the general Ontario market
across all weights. Heifer prices mirrored the strong Ontario market in all weight
categories except for the 7 and 9 weights in our sale which were strongly above
the general Ontario market prices.
There were 28 purchasing buyers and 55 consignors.
