Compared to last week, a much better test of calves sold with a firm to higher undertone. It was obvious that this week marked the start of the fall calf run with pastures and feed short and the highest calf prices seen in years making it an easy decision for several cow-calf producers to go ahead and market their calf crop, which provided some quantity and quality consignments. Most of the calves came in just off the cow or a few were weaned up to 30 days but most did have a couple rounds of shots. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-10.00 lower, except for the fleshier cows holding up much better and sold steady to firm.

Compared to last week, a much better test of calves sold with a firm to higher undertone. It was obvious that this week marked the start of the fall calf run with pastures and feed short and the highest calf prices seen in years making it an easy decision for several cow-calf producers to go ahead and market their calf crop, which provided some quantity and quality consignments. Most of the calves came in just off the cow or a few were weaned up to 30 days but most did have a couple rounds of shots. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-10.00 lower, except for the fleshier cows holding up much better and sold steady to firm.
