First reported sale in a few weeks a market trend is not applicable. Demand was good for front end kind of one iron ranched raised bawling calves. Most calves had precondition shots. Cooler temperatures in the local trade area overnight with the first hard freeze in the forecast for over the weekend. Special anniversary calf sale is slated for next Friday October 13th.
