First calf sale of the season so no comparisons available. Good to very good demand for calves from reputation outfits which sold mostly in loads. These calves were attractive in quality, light to moderately fleshed and off the cow with full preconditioning. Moderate to good demand for packages offered today. Quality on these varied, from plain to attractive, some of these calves were weaned, mostly about 60 days, and had various preconditioning, although most had at least one round of shots. Calves under 400 lbs saw light to moderate demand, with least demand for those under 300 lbs. A moderate to active market today with many buyers attending the sale. Several loads of spayed heifers sold with very good demand. Harvest season is in full swing. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, October 14.
