Compared to last week bawling steer and heifer calves 400-600 lbs sold unevenly steady with the bawling calves 600-650 lbs selling 10.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd. Nice offering of bawling calves on offer most of which had received their pre-weaning vaccinations.
