As filed

Compared to the sale from two weeks ago, steer calves under 700 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, with feeder steers over 700 lbs steady. Heifer calves under 500 lbs 10.00-15.00 higher, 500-600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, and feeder heifers over 600 lbs steady. More buyers every week looking for something that they can purchase to background, and there is just not enough cattle to fill everyone's orders. Demand for calves very good and moderate to good for yearlings.
