Heifer calves under 600 lbs sold steady to firm over 600 lbs were not tested. Demand was good on a light supply with locally overnight heavy to moderate rains throughout the trade area. Overall calves sold in small groups and packages. The stick out sales included pot load of steers weighing 758 lbs at 368.75, part load (40 hd) weighing 753 lbs at 366.00 and pot load steers weighing 885 lbs at 315.50.
