As filed

No recent sales for comparisons. Mostly calves in the offering with a lower undertone when looking back to the last tested market from three weeks ago. As with every October wide price spreads exist as buyers sort through available supplies, rewarding some producers for quality, condition, and their health program, while discounting others that fail to meet a perspective buyers standards. Most farmers in the area focused on the crop harvest as extremely dry conditions have allowed for nonstop fieldwork.
