Compared to last week: steer calves 400 to 550 lbs mostly steady, 551 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Heifer calves 450 to 600 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 10.00 lower, 601 to 650 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for today's large calf offering including many, many packages and quite a few loads. Quality was mostly attractive today with all calves off the cow in mostly light to moderate flesh. Most of the calves had full preconditioning. A moderate to active market with mostly order buyers interested in purchasing calves today, farmers are still struggling through corn harvest. No feeder cattle sale next week due to Thanksgiving, there will be a bred cattle sale on Tuesday, November 26. The next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, December 5. Happy Thanksgiving!!
