Most weights of yearlings and spring calves were higher this week. Buyer demand for today's offering of yearlings was good and very good for the strings of lighter weight spring calves. Buyers paying a premium for calves with spring and fall shots. This was the first sale with larger numbers of spring calves in the offering. Expecting a larger number of spring calves next week. Most calves were in light to moderate flesh condition this week.
