As filed

A good run of calves today weaned and unweaned. Some of the unweaned cattle were bringing weaned price with a good vaccination program. Compared to last week steer calves 500 to 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 8.00 higher and steers 850 - 1000 sold mostly 3.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs did not have a good comparison and heifers 600 - 650 lbs sold 8.00 higher and 700 to 800 bl heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
