were offered in load lots, up to 9 loads per consignment.  Several packages of 
tested open heifers were available as well.  Yearling were light to medium 
flesh, mostly off grass and generally attractive for quality.  An active market 
on the yearlings and they were met with moderate demand.  Moderate to good 
demand for todays offering of calves, a few consignments of weaned calves, 
otherwise calves were right off the cow, most had been fully vaccinated and 
were attractive for quality.  Usual crowd of order buyers competing with 
internet buyers made for an active market.  Several strings of calves today, up 
to 1200 per consignment offered buyers the opportunity to put multiple loads 
together.  There were plenty of part loads and packages available today as 
well.  Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, December 5, 2025.  Happy 
Thanksgiving.
