Special Calf & Yearling Sale. Last auction was two weeks ago. Most of the auction today consisted of lightweight unweaned calves. Not enough volume of calves with comparable weights to create a trend with the previous auction. Four loads of heifers, 3 loads of steers and many smaller strings in the offering today. Too light a test on yearling cattle in the previous auction for a comparison. Good demand. The next feeder sale is September 19.
