First special Wednesday calf sale of the fall run, so a market comparison will not be made. The market was active on this nice offering of mostly fully vaccinated calves. Several load lots and large pens of quality, mostly light fleshed calves fresh off the cows, sold on moderate to good demand with buyers in the stands and on the internet. There were also a few loads of nice yearlings, coming from reputable breeders, that sold on good demand. Fully vaccinated and black hided cattle still are bringing premium prices. Weather has remained nice in the area lending to good fall weaning weather; however, colder temps and snow are forecasted for the week. Next feeder sale will be October 27 starting at 8 a.m.
