As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, a very large offering of mostly calves weighing 450-650 lbs many home raised sold 10.00-20.00 higher, with spots 25.00 higher on the 5 weight heifers, 600-650 lb heifers sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good to very good on the largest sale Callaway Livestock has had to date reaching and passing the 5000 head mark. Many large strings of top quality feeders including one consignment of near 900 head with many other strings of good quality calves selling with good weighing conditions. Buyers were aggressive from the start to buy feeders as producers continue to market their feeders earlier than normal due to very dry conditions especially south of the I-70 corridor. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-6.00 higher.
