Nice offering of weaned and vaccinated calves today. Compared to the special sale 2 weeks ago steers sold mostly 6.00 to 9.00 higher and heifers sold mostly 4.00 to 7.00 higher. A couple of really nice sets of replacement heifers that had been calf-hooded and pelvic-checked brought top dollar. This was the last scheduled weaned and vaccinated sale of the season. The receipts were light to moderate and the demand was good.
