As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steer calves less than 500 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher, over 500 lbs sold unevenly steady. Heifers less than 450 lbs sold unevenly steady and over 450 lbs sold 7.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Sale comprised of packages of mostly bawling spring calves with a few weaned calves in the run. Buyers were very selective making sure all calves in the ring looked like peas in a pod before bidding. Also, most spring vaccinated calves sold at a discount though out the sale. Next Monday, will be a Special Bred Heifer and Cow Auction.
