Nice packages of just weaned heifers and steers with a few preg. open heifers. Most calves had preconditioned shots. First feeder sale in awhile so no trend will be applicable. Demand moderate to good.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
