As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves 400-650 lbs sold unevenly steady and feeder steers over 900 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Nice offering of yearling feeders and bawling spring calves on offer with some weaned calves selling in the mix. The bulk of the spring calves had received one round of fall vaccinations.
