Yearlings and Fall calves started the sale today, followed by Spring calves off the cow, a few weaned. Majority of calves with Fall shots. 450 to 500 lbs steers traded sharply lower and 450 lbs heifer traded steady. Demand was moderate to good with a good crowd of buyers at the barn and active internet bidding.
