Nice offering of bawling spring calves and yearling feeders on offer with most of the bawling calves having received fall vaccinations, those that had not sold at a discount. Compared to last week steer calves 500-600 lbs sold 5.00 and steer calves over 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves 450-650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower with 650-700 lbs heifer calves selling sharply higher. Yearling feeders sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd.
