As filed

Compared to last week steer calves under 700 lbs and heifers calves under 650 lbs sold steady to 15.00 lower. Eight weight yearling steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd. Buyers were wanting the weighing condition in their favor along with fall vaccinations of some kind on the bawling calves. If not the calves sold at a sizable discount.
