* Special Calf Sale Next Tuesday, October 13th *

Compared to last week, steers over 650 lbs sold steady to 7.00 higher. Heifers over 650 lbs and under 900 lbs sold 5.00 to 20.00 higher with heifers over 900 - 950 lbs selling 3.00 lower. Steers and heifers under 650 lbs not enough for true market test, higher undertone noted. Solid offering of unweaned calves today as well as a couple loads of steers weighing over 1000 lbs. Very good demand on a moderate supply.
