As filed

Compared to last sale: Due to limited receipts last week no trend set. Demand good. Quality ranged from plain to average with few attractive. Today's sale was very erratic, buyers and sellers alike carefully monitored boards of trade as the sale progressed. The fall calf run has begun. Calves that were unweaned, unvaccinated, plain, or those lacking in condition took the hardest hits today. Calves and feeders that were weaned 60 days or more, in fair to good condition, at least one round of shots, and those with any genetic background held strong and steady throughout the day.
