Today was the Annual All Yearling Special Sale at the Bloomfield Auction. Compared to the sale one week ago, steers and heifers both sold with a higher undertone noted, although not well compared. Demand was very good today and included internet bidding. Supply was heavy and included mostly seven- and eight-weight steers and heifers and several load lots. Four consignors brought nearly 700 head.
