Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold sharply higher on the day. Steers under 700 lbs sold 8.00 to 12.00 higher with instances 15.00-20.00 higher on flyweights. Steers over 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher on comparable sales. Heifer calves sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher on weights under 600 lbs over 600 lbs sold 3.00 higher. The Schow brothers kept the sale at a fast pace throughout the day. Buyers from the tri-state area bid readily for fully vaccinated bawling, weaned calves and yearling feeders. Weigh-up was in the sellers favor most of the day and buyers didn’t deter from it as they were there to fill buy orders. Special Calf and Feeder Cattle sale next week December 9th.
