Had a nice run of weaned calves to start off the sale, with the bulk of them having 2 rounds of shots in the spring and fall. The later half of the sale had a really nice run of yearling cattle. A very active market with a good crowd in the seats and an active internet market.

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