As filed

Compared to last week steer calves 400-750 lbs sold steady to 20.00 higher and heifer calves 450-750 sold 15.00 to 30.00 higher. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Some of the packages of calves were weaned and around 250 head had received spring shots only that were coming off their mothers, the balance had received fall vaccinations.
