Bull calves in the heavy range that were odd or last years fall calves or didn't fit the class were sporadic at $4.00 to $5.60. Price per lbs slid and were steady from $4.00 to $4.50 as the calves got larger. Breeding potential, larger bull calves pushed $6.00 Fly weight calves brought as high as $6.20. The majority of the heifer calves were in the $4.30 to $4.60 range. Light weights ranged from $4.70 to $4.90 A few heavy weights were in the lower $4's with fly weights hiting as high as $7.00 Yearling heifers were fairly steady at $3.50 Yearling bulls were sporadic but so was the class. The 2 yr Bull market was largley untested with only 8 head in the class. The 2 year Bred class was fairly steady in the $3500 range for solid heifers. The bottom of the class brought the average down an bit, and the better heifers were $3800 to $ The same pattern held true for the bred cows. As the quality dropped and the age rose the price was reflective. There were 42 buyers present with a good number of new producers bidding on all classes. It was a great sale and we are ever so greatful for the long time consignors and for the long time buyers. It was especially exciting to see all the newcomers. Merry christmans to all.
