As filed

Compared to last week, flyweight feeder steers sold steady to 5.00 lower while heavier steers traded 5.00-10.00 lower. All feeder heifer calves sold mostly 10.00-15.00 lower. Buyer attendance and participation good, though activity trailed off towards the end of the sale. Friday's sale consisted mostly of bawling calves with precondition shots. A number of good quality load lots and packages coming out of dry country on offer. Next special calf sale is October 23.
