Compared to last week steer calves 500-700 lbs sold steady to 15.00 lower and heifer calves 400-600 lbs sold steady to 25.00 lower. Demand was moderate from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Most all the calves had received fall vaccinations and a few packages were weaned.

24 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $470.00, low $355.00, median $434.51 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
