*Special Calf Sale Next Tuesday, November 3rd*

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly lower 3.00 to 15.00 with the exception of steers weighing 850 - 900 lbs selling 3.00 higher and 750 - 800 lb steers selling steady. Steers under 600 lbs not enough for market test. Heifers sold steady to 10.00 higher with the exception of heifers weighing 750 - 800 lbs, and 850 - 900 lbs selling 7.00 lower. Heifers under 500 lbs and over 900 lbs not enough for market test. Good demand for a moderate supply.
