As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good with several buyers on the seats and active buying on the internet. Several strings of top quality bawling calves on hand with most having fall precondition shots. Next Thursday, will be a special weigh up auction and Friday the 30th will be special calf auction.
