Compared to Thursday: steer calves 400 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher with instances up to 8.00 higher. Heifer calves 450 to 600 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher with instances up to 8.00 higher on 550 to 600 lbs. Moderate to good demand for today's calf offering featuring many packages and a handful of loads. A couple loads of replacement quality heifers from a reputation outfit were met with very good demand. Quality mostly attractive today and flesh light to moderate with all calves coming off the cow. Similar to last week, any calves without full preconditioning saw some discounting. A moderate market seen for this offering with mostly order buyers in the seats today. A smaller offering than expected today as last week's snowfall and the cold that has followed this week so far has caused some producers to postpone selling. The ground is not yet frozen and this has made moving snow difficult. Temperatures are expected to warm up considerably this week and this will cause some very muddy road and yard conditions. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, October 29.
