Big crowd of order buyers, farmer feeders and internet buyers in attendance for todays sale. Most of the yearlings were moderate to moderate plus for flesh conditions as they were coming out of grow yards. Calves were straight off the cow with two rounds of vaccinations, light to medium flesh condition and attractive for quality. Several long strings of calves from reputation ranches offered in multiple loads were meet with the best demand. Good demand for this active market today. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, December 6, 2024. Happy Thanksgiving.
