Compared to two weeks ago, most weights of steers sold 20.00 higher and heifers sold 20.00 to 25.00 higher. Demand was good from start to finish. Mix bag of weaned and calves right off the cow at Tuesday sale. All had fall vaccinations with some getting poured. Some of the weaned calves displayed a tick of fill throughout the day but the buyers did not back off of procuring them.
