As filed

Compared to last week steers and heifers under 700 lbs did not have enough for a good test, this is most likely due to the special calf sales being held on Tuesdays during October and November. Steers 750 to 800 lbs sold 9.00 lower and steers 850 to 1000 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher. Heifers 700 to 850 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. The receipts were moderate and the demand was good.
