Compared to last week: Steer calves under 450 lbs 10.00, to instances of 20.00 lower, over 450 lbs firm to instances of 10.00 higher. Heifer calves under 400 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 lower, over 400 lbs firm to instances of 10.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for spring born steer and heifer calves. This was the first big week across the state were all reported auctions saw a good number of these new crop calves. There was some pressure on the market this week as the cattle futures complex has taken a downturn, which is causing concern that the highs in the fat cattle market might have been reached already. There is still great optimism, however buyers aren't as aggressive with their bidding, this is most evident on calves that have not received two rounds of vaccinations. Large receipts expected throughout the fall now as we are in the midst of the fall marketing season.
