As filed

Compared to last week steer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher with flyweight heifers 10.00 higher. Bulk of the sale comprised of packages of top quality, bawling calves with fall precondition shots. Very few loads lots sold on the day. Several of the calves endured moderate to heavy snow the last few weeks, taking some condition and weight off. Thursday, November 5th special weigh-up sale; Friday, November 6th special calf auction with early estimates around 4000 head.
