Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs sold 5.00 lower, instances 10.00 lower on flyweight calves, over 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 9.00 higher. Heifer calves under 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher and over 650 lbs sold steady to 1.00 lower. Demand was good with a large crowd in attendance. Not as many load lots of longtime wean calves at the sale took some money off those lighter calves. Mix bag of weaned and bawling calves in the market place on Thursday.
