This was a vaccinated and weaned calf sale today and this was reflected in the prices. Compared to the last special sale steers under 450 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 higher and steers over 450 lbs were 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 400 lbs were 20.00 higher and heifers over 400 lbs were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Again the prices reflect the special weaned and vaccinated condition of these cattle. Good supply with moderate demand.
