Special Calf & Yearling Sale. No comparison, as the previous sale was Precondition. Lower undertones noted. The market has been uncertain this week, mostly in a downward trend. Today brought higher CME feeder cattle futures. The sale consisted of over four loads of steers and one load of heifers, along with plenty of smaller strings. Good market for light cattle, although numbers were limited. Demand was better today, especially on loads of yearlings.
