Compared to last Friday's sale: Steers calves from 350# to 399# were $6.00 to $10.00 higher, 400# to $499 were $4.00 to $6.00 lower with instances of $10.00 lower, 500# to 599# were steady with $2.00 higher, 600# to 649# were $2.00 to $4.00 lower; Heifer calves from 400# to 499# were $4.00 to $8.00 lower, 500# to 549# were steady to $2.00 higher, 550# to 599# were $6.00 to $10.00 lower. No other comparisons were available. There was good demand and a fairly active market on the calves today. The calves were fully preconditioned and right off the cow, light fleshed and attractive for quality. Several long strings from reputation ranches offered buyers the opportunity to purchase full loads or multiple loads of one owner cattle. Lots of part loads and packages available today as well. Just a few loads of yearlings, mostly packages in todays sale. Better demand for the full loads of good quality cattle today than for the part loads and packages. Next feeder sale will be Wednesday, November 3rd. Stay safe and eat beef!
