Compared to two weeks ago, Lighter steers trended higher. With yearling steers steady to lower. Heifers trended steady. Most calves were vaccinated, a mix of fresh wean calves and weaned calves on the lighter weights. A strong set of yearling cattle sold. Demand was good with a light set of buyers in the seats with harvest in full swing. Next sale will be November 2nd, all calves will be weaned and vaccinated a minimum of 30 days.
