As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone on limited comparisons. Steers over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher and heifers over 600 lbs steady. A higher percentage of calves in the offering this week, as would be expected this time of year, with many sold in smaller packages. Demand was good and supply moderate.
