Compared to last week: Feeder steers 450 - 600 lbs 1.00 - 2.00 lower; 600-750 lbs 10.00-12.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500-550 lbs 2.00 lower; 550-600 lbs 6.00 lower. Demand was light to moderate for today's offering of calves. Quality was mostly attractive and all calves were off the cow in light to moderate flesh. Most calves had full preconditioning and those without were discounted. Next sale is scheduled for October 29, 2020.
