As filed

Compared to two weeks ago steers over 800 lbs sold 10.00-15.00 lower and not enough comparable offerings of heifers to establish a trend. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd. The start of the calf and feeder auction was with the load lots and packages of yearlings and finished up on packages of weaned calves. It was noticed that the weigh up of the offerings was in the buyers favor.
