As filed

Compared to last week, peewee steer calves under 450lbs sold with a steady undertone, and steers over 450lbs sold mostly 2.00 to 10.00 higher. Lightweight heifer calves sold with a steady undertone, and heifers over 600lbs sold steady to 7.00 higher. Very mixed quality this week, with the higher end weaned calves creating very good demand, while unweaned calves have buyers showing more pause due to health concerns with the temperature swings of October. Supply was moderate.
