As filed

This is the second reported sale of the fall and there were not sufficient numbers for a comparison this week. Todays offering consisted of mostly small lots of spring calves and making up about one third of todays receipts. The other two thirds were smaller lots of yearling heifers and steers. Heavier yearlings seemed to be more in demand by buyers today and commanded higher prices this week compared to last week. Most calves and yearling were in light flesh condition.
