Compared to two weeks ago, on comparable offerings of steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was good with some internet bidding and buying. Most of the offering had pre-condition shots and some of the calves were weaned. December 3, will be a Special Weighup sale and Friday December4, will be a Special Calf sale.
