Compared to two weeks ago: The best comparable weight range for Steer Calves was 450-600lbs, 6.00 higher. Heifer Calves best comparable weights 350-450lbs were trending lower on a light test from the previous reports smaller numbers; 450-500, 7.00 higher. Demand was very good, especially for nice heifers, likely headed back to a breeding program. Quality was mixed, with some calves carrying some tag or fill, but carried light to moderate flesh. Market was active with buyers and producers in the stands. Smaller sale today, with the holidays coming up and fewer calves coming to town. The next sale is December 13, and will be the final Feeder Calf Special of the year. On Dec. 20, there will be a Bred Heifer and Cow Special.
