As filed

Compared to last week steer calves 400-600 lbs. sold mostly 4.00-7.00 lower, 600-650 lbs. 4.00 higher and those over 650 lbs. were mostly 6.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. were 6.00-12.00 higher, those over 600 lbs. were lower but we didn't have good volumes to compare. Demand was mostly moderate to good for the light offerings. Trading was active.
