Compared to last week. Very few yearlings in the offering to make an accurate trend. Today was the first sizable calf offering and calves were met with moderate to good demand with the best demand seen for a couple loads of steers. Most had full preconditioning. Quality was mostly attractive on the calves and all were off the cow in mostly light to moderate flesh. Next sale is scheduled for Oct 22, 2020 expecting 4500 hd.
