Compared to last week's Wednesday special, calves in all weights trended 
sharply lower.  Today's smaller offering consisted of mostly calves straight 
off the cow, carrying both spring and fall shots,  sold on moderate demand.  
Smaller packages today, with only a few load lots.  Fewer buyers in the seats 
had their pick of some nice, clean, light to medium flesh calves.
