As filed

Nice run of spring calves on offer with a few being weaned along with spring bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Compared to last week steer calves under 500 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher and steer calves over 500 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower. Heifer calves 400-600 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower. Around 450 head of the bawling calves had not received fall vaccinations selling at a sizable discount creating wide price spreads within the weighed averages. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $521.41, low $412.85, median $496.19 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
