As filed

Compared to last week fly-weight steer calves sold sharply higher. Steers up to 700 lbs sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher, flat 700 lbs sold 2.00 higher with weights over 750 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Heifer calves and feeder cattle sold unevenly steady throughout the day. Very large crowd of buyers on hand with an active internet bid readily from start to finish. Several strings of big warmed up calves on hand with most displaying a tick of flesh. The warm, dry fall weather helped cattle performed very well. Several offerings had been weaned since August because of the short, dry pasture conditions.
