Compared to two weeks ago steer calves over 500 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower and heifer calves sold steady to 10.00 lower. The offering consisted of 65 percent yearlings and weaned calves with the balance on bawling calves most of which had received fall vaccinations. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd.
