As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steer calves 500-700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower and flyweight steers sold steady to 40.00 lower. Heifer calves under 650 lbs sold 10.00 to 30.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Around 800 head of the calves were weaned and fall vaccinated with the balance on bawling calves, nearly all of which had received their fall vaccinations. Near 750 head of yearlings also sold in the mix.
