Compared to last week: No comparisons on yearlings due to limited numbers. Steer calves from 400 lbs to 549 lbs were 10.00 to 20.00 higher, steers from 550 lbs to 700 lbs were generally steady. Heifer calves from 450 lbs to 550 lbs were steady to 10.00 higher, heifers from 550 lbs to 600 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 lower. A big run of cattle for todays sale with a few consignments of old cop yearlings mostly off grass that were met with moderate demand. Yearlings consisted of tested open replacement heifers, most in packages and a few consignments of steers. Yearlings were light to medium fleshed and generally attractive for quality. Calves were fresh off the cow except for one consignment. Calves were in light flesh condition and most had two rounds of vaccinations. Several strings offering multiple loads as well as plenty of part loads and packages made for an active market. Good demand for todays offering with mostly order buyers and internet buyers competing with a few farmer feeders for todays sale. Weather has been warmer than normal allowing for good progress on fall harvest and made the movement of cattle fairly easy. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, November 21st, expecting a large run of high quality calves and yearlings.
