Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher, except 500-550 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, over 600 lbs mostly steady. Heifer calves 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Yearling feeder steers and heifers too limited to make a comparison. Very good demand for this nice offering of high quality calves. Several long strings in the offering, including full loads and multiple load lots. The flesh condition ranged from light to moderate overall. Many of the calf consignments were fully preconditioned, yet there were many that were only carrying one round of shots. There were plenty of buyers for the calves that needed one, or both rounds of shots, as the quality and flesh condition of the cattle was very attractive. Very good demand for the few sets of yearlings, the market was very active as few of these cattle are available. The fall marketing season is fully underway now as cow/calf producers begin pulling their calves from summer pastures. Special feeder cattle sale again next week, Oct. 27, 2022.
