As filed

Compared to last weeks special sale, not a great comparison due to the high percentage of unweaned calves in todays offering. On a light test, steer and heifer calves sold 6.00 to 15.00 lower with the exception of 500 to 550 lb heifers selling around 2.00 higher. Good demand on a light supply of mostly unweaned or short-weaned calves.
