As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, calves sold mostly 10.00-15.00 lower, and yearlings near 5.00 lower as the local market moved to catch up to the lower trend that many barns reflected last week around the circuit. Buyers were sensitive to the health management and flesh condition of the calf offering.
