Compared to last week: Feeder calves stayed steady as did yearlings. Truck loads, in either category, brought premiums of attractive, uniform cattle. Calves with only branding time shots showed no visible discount. Many strings were brought from dry areas resulting in green to moderate flesh conditions. The sale today brought an active market with a firm confidence on the part of the buyers that market conditions are good. Next sale is Oct 9, 2020.
