As filed

There is no comparison this week as numbers were very small last week. Today saw the first big sale of the fall for spring calves coming to market. Many smaller strings of steers and heifers in today's sale. Several lots of steers and heifers that were very fancy in today's offering. Several lots of calves with two or three series of shots . The fancy and those with shots commanded a premium. Most calves are coming to market right off the cow. Buyer demand very good with several new buyer in attendance.
