Trade activity and demand was good. Sale was almost all preconditioned calves off the cow and the quality was extremely good. Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 3.00 to 13.00 higher with some sharply higher due to the increase in quality and reputation from the last sale. Those sharply higher were replacement quality heifers. Next available report will be Wednesday, October, 21, 2026.
