Demand was good to very good with a large crowd of buyers at most auctions and active internet buying noted at most sales. Bulk of the calves are fresh bawlers right off the cow, most have precondition shots and have a lot of eye appeal, big framed with weigh up in buyers favor. Higher market this week might be contributed to the farmer/feeder is done with harvest, they have large piles of feed and they can concentrate on weaning and keeping calves healthy. Comparing same week last year, this week there were more steers sold and the weights over 600 lbs came in 2% lower. The dry conditions across the state had a negative effect on the weight of these bawling calves. Moms milk and breeding bulls with high weaning weight EPD's did their part. If mother nature could have given the range some moisture, the grass would of added additional pounds to the sale weight. Feedlot lives sales sold at 2.00 to 4.00 higher than last week at 107.00 and dressed sales sold 4.00 to 9.00 higher at 167.00.
