Compared to Thursday: a much larger offering than Thursday with best test on steers 500 to 650 lbs mostly steady with instances 3.00 lower on 600 to 650 lbs and best test on heifers 450 to 500 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for many packages and loads of calves offered today. Less demand seen for heifers than steers. Just a couple packages of weaned calves with the rest being off the cow. Preconditioning varied, and calves without all their shots were sold at the bottom end of the price spectrum. Quality similar to Thursday, mostly average to attractive and most calves were in light to moderate flesh. A moderate to active market with many buyers and a few farmers in the seats. More rain and possibly snow predicted for tomorrow with some colder weather to follow. This has put some pressure on the calf market as pens have not dried out from last weeks rain and many farmers are still trying to harvest. Taking on unweaned calves is not very appealing in these conditions. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, October 21, expecting 7000 head, weather permitting.
