Compared to last week steers sold mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher with unweaned bringing just under the weaned calves. The heifers there were too few for a good test. The receipts were light with good demand. One more special calf sale next Tuesday and then the special weaned and vaccinated sale December 3rd.
