As filed

Compared to last week, few good comparisons with many calves selling under 650 lbs unweaned but good quality, with two pot loads of yearling heifers weighing 985 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold steady. Demand was moderate on the calves with the best demand on the loads of heifers.
