As filed

Compared to two weeks ago steer calves under 650 lbs. ended mixed, those over 650 lbs. sold mostly 3.00-6.00 higher. Heifer calves under 650 lbs. were mostly 4.00-6.00 higher, the 750-800 lb.. heifers were steady. The rest of the heifers over 650 lbs. did not have adequate numbers both weeks to compare. Demand was good for the moderate offerings. Trade was active.
