First special Wednesday black hided calf sale of the fall run so no price comparisons will be made. The market was active to very active on the full loads, less active on part loads and packages. Most of the calves were light fleshed, right off the cow and had spring and fall vaccinations. Several strings of reputation cattle in todays sale offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle, lots of part loads and packages available to make loads out of. Nice crowd of order buyers, farmer feeders, and internet buyers competing for todays offering of calves. Next feeder sale will be Friday, October 20th expecting 11,000 calves and yearlings starting at 8:00ct.
