Today was the annual Saturday weaned calf sale. Compared to calves on Wednesday: steers 450 to 500 lbs mostly steady with instances 4.00 lower, 501 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers 450 to 500 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower, 501 to 600 lbs mostly steady. A large offering of packages and loads for this special sale. All calves were long time weaned and most were fully preconditioned. Flesh condition varied quite a bit, from light to moderate plus, calves overall showing less flesh than usually seen at this sale. Quality ranged from plain to attractive. An active market with both order buyers and farmer feeders attending. Regular feeder cattle sale on Wednesday, December 7.
