As filed

Compared to last weeks thin test steer calves 450-700 lbs sold 15.00 to 25.00 higher and heifer calves 450-650 lbs sold 5.00 to 20.00 higher. Demand was good to very good from the buyers in the crowd. The bulk of the offering consisted of bawling spring calves that had received fall vaccinations selling in packages and part loads with some packages of weaned calves and spring vaccinations only calves also selling in the mix.
