Compared to last Wednesday's sale, best comparison on the 500 lbs. to 600 lbs. steers would be steady to 4.00 lower, heifers on a limited test would be steady with lower undertones noted. Overall quality not as attractive as last weeks sale. Active market and good demand for the fully preconditioned calves in todays offering. Several loads and part loads made up todays sale. A reduced offering for todays sale as producers continue to struggle with muddy road conditions to get cattle to market. Flesh condition was light to moderate for these calves coming right off the cow. Next sale will be Friday, October 25th, expecting 8,000 to 9,000 head of calves and yearlings.
