As filed

Compared to last week steer calves and yearlings steers sold steady. Heifer calves sold steady with yearling heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good from start to finish for calves and yearlings. Bulk of the calves were bawlers with precondition shots and some had been weaned for 60 days. Few, bred cows and pairs sold in the run. Bred cows are due to start calving in March. Next week Oct 27th will be a special calf and feeder auction.
