This sale was a combination of the special calf sale that was scheduled for Tuesday and todays regular sale. There would have been lighter numbers on Tuesday due to the rains we had gotten and muddy pens. Compared to last week steers 600 to 700 lbs sold mostly 10.00 higher and steers 750 to 950 lbs sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Due to the the lighter numbers last week there was no good comparables for the heifers. The receipts were moderate to heavy with good demand.
