Compared to last Friday's sale: steer calves from 400# to 649# were mostly $2.00 to $4.00 lower with instances of $6.00 lower, Heifer calves from 450# to 599# were generally steady to $4.00 lower. No other comparisons were available. A good crowd in attendance for today's sale with buyers not as aggressive as last week, still a fairly active market. Several strings of calves from reputation ranches along with part loads and packages were available for todays calf sale. A nice offering of yearlings available for today's sale were meet with good demand. Yearling cattle were straight off grass and most were light fleshed, a few in moderate flesh condition. The majority of the calves were fully preconditioned, straight off the cow, in light flesh condition and attractive for quality. A couple of consignments of weaned calves were available for todays sale also. On feed report this afternoon showed a few less cattle placed in feed yards than anticipated. The cash fat cattle market is still stuck in the same old rut it has been in for 6 - 8 weeks. Approximately 1500 calves were unable to get in for today's sale due to some muddy roads in the area. The next feeder sale will be next Wednesday, October 27th. Expecting a large run of fancy black hided calves. Stay safe and Eat Beef!
