Today's offering consisted of mostly spring calves and there were not enough in last weeks sale to make a comparison. There were also no comparisons in weights of the yearlings that came through. Good demand for these last few yearlings coming through, with most coming from grass, carrying mostly moderate conditioning. Moderate demand for todays calves and yearlings, as quality was mixed. Most of the spring calves carried both branding time and pre-conditioning shots, coming right off the cow. A few more of the feeder calf buyers returned to the seats today, as the fall run begins.
