Compared to last week fly weight steer calves sold 4.00 higher, 400 to 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Light test on the yearling steers traded unevenly steady. Heifer calves under 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower, over 700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher on a thin test. Bawling calves not having a fall vaccination protocol buyers really backed off on those lots. Also, the downward pressure on the CME cattle boards and some receiving lots have had quite a few sick calves hitting the hospital. All this adds up to a sour buyer's perspective. Cooler days approach the trade area, and it might help straighten the health out the freshly weaned calves. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
