Compared to last week, 600-800 lb. stocker and feeder calves sold steady to 4.00 higher with heavier weights not well tested. Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. sold 4.00-8.00 lower. Demand was good and improved throughout the day. The supply was moderate. The quality was average with the exception of a few reputation herds that were in the offering. The largest drafts of the day were 75 head of 664 lb. steers which brought 255.25/cwt. and 75 head of 613 lb. heifers which brought 246.00/cwt. Forty degree nights and 80 degree days have buyers paying closer attention to weaning dates and vaccination programs. Producers are keeping an eye on Hurricane Francine in hopes that she will bring much needed rain to the area.
