As filed

Compared to last week steer calves over 450 lbs sold 2.00 to 10.00 higher and heifer calves 450-600 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower with heifers 600-700 lbs selling 5.00 higher. Around 40 percent of the run consisted of weaned calves and yearlings with the balance being bawling calves. Near 20 percent of the bawling calves had not received any fall shots the majority of which sold at a discount. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd.
