Nice run of weaned and bawling spring calves on offer with some long yearlings selling in the mix. Around 250 head of the bawling calves had not received fall vaccinations. Compared to last week steer calves 500-650 lbs sold steady to 6.00 higher and heifer calves 500-650 lbs sold steady to 6.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.86, low $448.60, median $483.26 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
