Compared to last week steer calves 450-700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower and heifer calves 400-600 lbs sold 10.00 to 30.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. A shorter consignment sheet was made of mostly bawling calves that had received fall vaccinations and few were weaned, the balance was bawling calves with spring shots only.
