Compared to last week steers traded mixed with 500 to 600 lbs steers 3.00 to 8.00 lower and 600 to 650 lbs. were 10.00 higher. The only weights of heifers for comparison were the 500 to 550 lbs. which were 11.00 lower. There are less and less yearlings in the offering as the fall progresses. There were many nice strings of spring calves in todays offering. Most are not weaned and lacking shots. Those with shots and weaned are what the buyers are paying a premium for. Good buyer demand this week with new buyers in attendance. Most calves in light to moderate flesh condition.
