First special Wednesday calf sale of the season, so no price comparisons will be made. Large run of high quality calves for todays sale were met with good demand. A large crowed was in attendance for todays auction. Calves were fully vaccinated and right off the cow, clean, open haired and attractive for quality. Wide price range depending on vaccinations program, flesh condition and quality. Next feeder sale will be Friday, October 24, 2025.
