Compared to two weeks ago, steer and heifers calves sold unevenly steady with a few true yearling steers trending sharply higher. Bulk of Wednesday sale comprised of weaned calves with some bawlers and true yearling feeders in the run. Large crowd of buyers sat down along with active bidding from the internet to bid readily on weaned calves and yearlings. Light crowd of buyers were left on the seats bidding on the bawling calves. Most of the consignments had two rounds of shots. Some unweaned calves included in weights under 600 lbs. Dec 7 will be a special calf and feeder sale.
