On a thin test compared to last week steer and heifer calves under 500 lbs sold sharply higher and steer and heifer calves 500-700 lbs sold steady to 15.00 lower except 550-600 lbs steers selling 10.00 higher. Not enough comparable offerings of yearling steers or heifers from last week to establish a trend. All of the bawling calves on offer had at least one round of fall vaccinations. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd on the bawling calves with good to very good demand on the yearling feeders.
