Compared to last week steer calves sold steady to 7.00 higher except 450-550 lbs steers sold steady to 10.00 lower and heifer calves sold steady to 25.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Buyers were more selective with what they were bidding on, if the calves had received fall vaccinations and the weighing condition was in the buyers favor the demand was higher, if not demand slowed and calves got discounted.
