Last reported sale was two weeks ago and today's market had lower undertones. After sharp losses on the CME cattle boards last week Tuesday's market was a tick sluggish as buyers were very selective to procure calves that fit their buy orders exactly. Several lots were longtime weaned and most of those calves showed a little extra fill coming through the ring. Most calves with spring shots only sold at a steep discount to calves with fall vaccinations. Good size crowd of buyers on the seats bidding on mostly packages of Sandhill's raised calves with less than a handful of full loads on hand Tuesday. Next week Nov 21, will be a stock cow special. Next calf and feeder cattle auction will be December 5th.
