As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on calf and yearling special; not enough yearling steers and heifers for a good market test or comparisons. Steer calves steady with 2.00-7.00 higher instances 13.00, best advances on 350 lb calves, along with 400-450 lbs and 500-550 lbs. Heifer calves steady with 4.00-8.00 higher, instances 14.00. Heifers under 400 lbs under pressure, 450-500 lb calves most advances. Demand good with good buyer participation.
