Today was the Annual Back to Grass Special Calf Sale. 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, especially for cattle under 550 
lbs., and included internet bidding. Supply was moderate to heavy and included 
several smaller packages and only a couple load lots, although three consignors 
brought 350 head.
