Compared to last Wednesday's special black hided calf sale: Steers from 400 lbs 
to 549 lbs were generally 30.00 to 50.00 lower, steers from 550 lbs to 599 lbs 
were 3.00 to 5.00 lower, steers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were 15.00 to 25.00 
lower. Heifers from 400 lbs to 449 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 lower, heifers from 
450 lbs to 549 lbs were mostly 15.00 to 25.00 lower. No other weight classes 
comparable.  Big run of high quality calves for todays special black hided calf 
sale.  Most of the calves had spring and fall vaccinations, were right off the 
cow , clean haired and attractive for quality.  A fairly active market 
considering the recent action of the futures market.  House full of people with 
order buyers, farmer feeders and internet buyers competing for todays offering. 
 Wide price range within weight classes depending on vaccinations, quality and 
eye appeal.  Next feeder sale is Friday, October 31st, expecting a nice run of 
old crop yearlings and a large run of spring born calves.
