As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves traded mostly steady throughout the day with a few instances 2.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 4.00 to 9.00 higher. Several buyers in the seats today with a very active internet all day. A nice offering overall with mainly all weaned calves and sold in package trade. No Sale next Wednesday.
