Compared to last week: steer calves 400 to 450 lbs 6.00 to 8.00 higher, 451 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Heifer calves 450 to 600 lbs mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for today's large calf offering. Similar to recent weeks, load lots from reputation ranches see the best demand. Quality similar to last week with most of the offering being average to attractive in quality. Flesh mostly light to moderate. All calves off the cow again today and most had full preconditioning, or at least one full round of fall shots. A moderate to active market seen for this offering with order buyers, farmer feeders, and a couple bull breeders attending the sale today. Temps remain above normal for this time of year. No feeder cattle sale next week due to Thanksgiving, next feeder cattle sale will be Thursday, December 3.
