Compared to last week yearling heifers sold steady. Not enough yearling steers on Monday for a market trend. Weaned calves sold with higher undertone when compared to the light test of calves last Monday. Demand was good from start to finish with several buyers on the seats. Few, lots were sold on the internet. Next special wean calf and yearling sale is Monday Dec 5th.
