No comparison will be made this week as the numbers were low for last weeks sale. Today's sale consisted of a few load lots of yearling steers and bunches of open yearling heifers. Today saw the first runs of spring calves come to market. With the dry conditions in the state it is expected to bring more calves to market next week. Buyer demand was good for the yearlings offered and those calves that were weaned and had shots. Most spring calves today were not weaned or had shots. Most spring calves came to market in light to medium flesh condition.
