Compared to Tuesday: Steer calves 450 to 650 lbs and heifer calves 450 to 600 lbs mostly steady. Good demand for another large calf offering featuring many loads and packages. Quality today mostly average to attractive. Most calves in light to moderate flesh again today, slightly more flesh overall on the calves than Tuesday. Similar to Tuesday, most had full preconditioning, or at least one full round of shots. An active market for this offering with order buyers, farmer feeders, and a few bull breeders in the seats today. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, November 19.
