Nice run of weaned calves and bawling calves along with spring bred cows on offer. Around 500 head of the bawling calves had not received fall vaccinations, majority of which sold at a discount. Compared to last week steer calves under 550 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher and steer calves over 550 lbs sold unevenly steady from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550 lbs sold unevenly steady from 4.00 lower to 4.00 higher and heifer calves over 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
