*CLOSE* Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves were steady. No recent price comparison on the yearlings on offer, however a sharply higher market noted. Demand moderate on calves and good to very good on yearlings as yearlings become more scarce as the fall drags on. The highlight of the day was a large load of 758 lb steers selling at 164.00.
