As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher and heavier weights sold steady. Heifers sold steady. Several more calves were in the offering this week with most on a health program along with some loads of yearlings. Demand was good and the overall quality of the cattle was excellent. Supply was moderate to heavy as the fall runs start to pick up. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower, bulls firm.
