As filed

Compared to the auction last week, 400 - 500 lb light weight steer calves were 8.00 to 10.00 higher and 600 -700 lb cattle were 7.00 to 12.00 higher. Light weight heifer calves saw the trade 10.00 to 15.00 higher with 600 - 700 lb cattle mostly steady. Great offering today of higher quality green, thin, weaned grass calves. Many opportunities for reputation replacement heifers. Demand was very good for today's moderate offering. Trade very active.
