Compared to last week, steers were uneven from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Heifers were steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good, especially on grazing calves. The supply was moderate supply. The quality of the offering was average at best with plenty of short-weaned bawlers and bull calves. Notable exceptions included one draft of 42 head of 394 lb. steer calves which sold for 575.00/cwt. and a 19 head draft of 565 lb. heifer calves with sold for 425.00/cwt. Fat cattle cash prices have dropped ten dollars in the past week and has lead to cash feeder prices softening up, however high quality, pre-conditioned calves are holding their own, but there are fewer and fewer of them to be found in this fall run.
