Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold with a lower undertone. Demand was mostly moderate, instances good from in house buyers with an active internet. Bulk of the trade sold in packages throughout the day. Majority of the calves had fall precondition shots. For the few lots that only had spring vaccination protocol a steep discount was applied by the buyers. Some nice packages of preg checked open heifers off area ranchers replacements in the run.
