Compared to last week bawling calves sold unevenly steady. Yearling steers sold steady to 5.00 higher and yearling heifers sold 1.00 higher on a thin test. Demand was good for calves and feeder cattle. Summer grass is very dry and short grass in the trade area and that is why cattlemen sold spring calves months earlier than normal. Calves had branding vaccinations, thin fleshed and sold with weigh-up in the buyers favor. Some of the grass cattle might have lost a few pounds from turn out due to the drought conditions. Next special sale will be in two weeks on Aug 16.
