Compared to last week steers calves sold steady to 3.00 lower and heifer calves sold steady to 2.00 higher. Yearlings sold steady. Friday’s offering comprised of yearlings, weaned and bawling spring calves. Demand was good for yearlings, weaned calves, top quality replacement heifers and calves with precondition vaccinations. Moderate demand for calves with spring shot only. Next sale will be in two weeks on December 3.
