Nice offering cattle today. Next Tuesday we will start our first Fall Special Calf Sale of the year. The barn already has 3500 consigned, should be a really nice sale. Compared to last week steers 650 to 750 lb sold mostly 2.00 higher while 800 to 950 lb steers sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers weighing 650 to 800 lbs sold mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher. There are a lot of unweaned calves coming threw the barn this time of year. If the calves have shots and good genetics they will bring as much as the weaned calves. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
