Today was a special weaned and preconditioned calf sale. Compared to Wednesday: steers 450 to 600 lbs mostly steady except 500 to 550 not well compared, 601 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher with instances up to 10.00 higher on 650 to 700 lbs. Heifers 450 to 500 lbs mostly steady, 501 to 550 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 551 to 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Good to very good demand for this large calf offering featuring many packages and loads. As to be expected, more flesh overall on the calves than Wednesday, most of the offering in moderate to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Quality varied, especially on packages, from plain to attractive. An active market with both buyers and farmer feeders in the seats today. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, December 9.
