As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, calves under 500 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone and those over 500 lbs sold with a weak to lower undertone. Demand was moderate to good, best for the lighter calves with the grass greening up this week and a few new faces looking for some grazers. Supply was light. Slaughter cows sold steady.
