Compared to last week steer calves under 600 lbs sold 7.00-10.00 higher and heifer calves under 600 lbs sold 2.00-8.00 higher. Nice run of spring calves on offer with most all consignments having received preconditioning shots. Demand was good to very good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
