As filed

Compared with two weeks ago 450 lbs steers and heifers sold 6.00-7.00 higher while 500 lbs steers and heifers sold unevenly steady with no other comparisons. There was a moderate crowd on hand today for mainly packages of both weaned and unweaned calves mainly preconditioned calves. Trade today was moderate with demand being good for lighter calves and moderate for the remainder. Crawford's next sale will be a special calf sale December 6.
