Special Calf & Yearling Sale. Compared to the sale last Thursday; 800-850 lb steers were mixed. Lower trend noted in the market this week. Light cattle and heifers were limited in numbers. The sale consisted of eighteen loads and several half loads of yearling steers, along with smaller strings. Demand was good.
