As filed

Compared to last week steer calves under 650 lbs sold steady to 6.00 higher. Heifer calves sold unevenly steady. Not enough yearling steers or heifers for a market trend. Demand was moderate to good with several calf buyers on the seats. Buyers were seeking calves with fall precondition shots. Most cattle staying within the state with a few loads going out of state.
