Nice run of old crop yearlings and weaned calves on offer with around 250 head of bawling calves selling in the mix. Compared to last week steer calves 500-700 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher and heifer calves under 700 lbs sold steady to 8.00 higher. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
