Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This was the first special Wednesday sale of the season, so no comparison available. Moderate to good demand for today's offering of calves. Calves were preconditioned and attractive for quality. Flesh conditioned ranged from light to moderate. Several loads and part loads were available today. Best demand for the steer calves as evidenced by the price spread between steers and heifers. Next feeder sale will be Friday, October 16th, expecting 7,000 or more high quality calves and yearlings. Be safe

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
