Special Calf & Yearling Sale. No comparison, as the last sale was Precondition. Many unweaned calves today. Most of the sale consisted of feeder calves 700 lbs and under. Several load lots, along with plenty of smaller packages in the offering. Good demand, with plenty of buyers looking for light cattle.
