Compared to last Wednesday's special calf sale: Steers from 350 lbs to 650 lbs were generally steady to instances of 6.00 higher; heifers from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 lower. No other comparisons available. Good demand for this nice offering of fully vaccinated calves coming off the cow. Nice crowd of buyers competing with interest buyers made for an active market. Calves were light fleshed as most are coming off very dry and short pasture conditions. Next feeder sale will be Friday, October 25, 2024 expecting 8500 or more yearling and calves with the sale stating at 8:00 am central time.
