As filed

Compared to last week steer calves under 500 lbs sold sharply higher with steer calves over 500 lbs selling steady to 10.00 lower, heifer calves under 600 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower. Around 45 percent of the offering consisted of weaned calves and yearlings with the balance on bawling calves which nearly all had received fall vaccinations. Demand was moderate to very good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
