Nice offering of weaned and bawling spring calves on offer. Compared to last week steers over 550 lbs sold 2.00 to 7.00 higher and heifers over 550 lbs sold steady to 6.00 higher. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd and on the internet that were bidding in the active market.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
