Today was Gordon's first feeder calf sale of the year so no trend will be given. There was a good crowd on hand today for a few strings as well as packages of mainly preconditioned calves coming strait off of the cow. Trade was moderate with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Gordon's next sale will be a feeder calf special October 22.
