Compared to last week:  Not enough yearling to make a price comparison, steer 
calves from 400 lbs to 449 lbs and steer calves from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were 
10.00 to 15.00 lower, steer calves from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 
lower, heifer calves from 400 lbs to 449 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 lower, heifer 
calves from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were steady to 4.00 lower. A nice run of 
yearling steers and heifers for todays sale, coming off pasture and the bulk of 
the cattle being tested open replacement heifers.  Yearling sold on a moderate 
to active market with flesh conditions ranging from light to moderate flesh.  A 
big run of calves for todays sale with most having two rounds of vaccinations 
and coming right off the cow, there were a couple consignments of weaned 
calves.   Many load lots with plenty of part loads and packages available to 
make loads.  An active market with a house full of buyers competing with 
internet buyers. Calves were attractive for quality and most were fairly clean 
considering the muddy conditions in the area.  A rough day in the futures 
market and the financial market caused concern for potential buyers.  Next 
feeder sale is scheduled for Friday November 6, 2026, expecting a large run of 
high quality yearling and calves.
