Compared to the auction last week: in a lighter offering, steer and heifer calves sold with a lower undertone. 500 lb. steers calves were lower 4.00 - 5.00, 700 lb yearlings lower by 7.00 - 9.00.

500 lb. heifers calves lower 6.00 - 8.00, 700 lb lower by 7.00 - 9.00. Good offering of quality, green feeder calves today. Demand for calves was light to moderate.
