Nine of the ten largest drafts were yearlings with the largest draft being 74 head of 842 lb. steers which brought 250.75/cwt. However the drafts to get the most attention were from the Video Auction with 165 head of 620 lb. steers bringing 325.50/cwt. and 110 head of their smaller brothers weighing 470 lbs. bringing 370.00/cwt.
