Special Calf & Yearling Sale. Compared to the sale two weeks ago: Light steers were mixed, 450 lbs 4.00 higher, 550 lbs 5.00 lower. Too light a test on yearling steers, no comparison. Heifers, 600 lbs, sharply higher. Too light a test on yearling heifers, no comparison. One full load of steers, nine half loads and many smaller strings in the offering today. Good demand, especially on advertised reputation cattle.
