Compared to two weeks ago, bawling steers sold sharply higher and yearling steers over 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Bawling heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and yearling heifers over 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher. On the bawling calves the calves that had not received fall vaccinations and/or were carrying baby fat sold at a sizable discount. Demand was good to very good from the buyers in the crowd.
