Compared to last week steer and heifers calves under 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 lower and steer calves over 600 lbs sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Yearling steers sold 2.00 higher. Nice run of yearling steers and spayed heifers along with bawling spring calves most having fall vaccinations. Demand was moderate to good from the crowd of buyers with internet activity noticed.
