Trade activity and demand was moderate to good. We are starting to see a few more weaned calves come through, but the majority of the sale was still comprised of preconditioned calves coming off the cow. Feeder steers traded mostly 2.00 to 5.00 lower, with a few high quality 500 and 600 pound weaned calves trading 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 6.00 lower, with a few 500 and 600 pound weaned groups trading 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Next available report will be Wednesday, November 18, 2026.
