Heifer calves under 550 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher and yearling heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Several strings and packages of really nice bawling calves with most having precondition shots. Several packages of top quality preg open heifers and a few loads of really nice yearling steers on hand. Bulk of the yearlings steers were average to plain in quality. Next Wednesday, Oct 5 will be a special calf and feeder auction.
