Compared to last Friday; yearling steers were to lightly tested to have a good comparison. Yearling heifers from 800 lbs to 849 lbs were 5.00 to 7.00 lower while the 950 lbs to 999 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Other weight classes were to lightly tested to get a good comparison. Very good demand for today's yearling cattle. Steer calves from 450 lbs to 499 lbs were 2.00 to 6.00 lower, the 500 lbs to 649 lbs steers were steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves from 450 lbs to 600 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher. Other weight classes not comparable due to limited numbers. Over all a stronger calf market with moderate to good demand for today's offering of fully preconditioned calves. The quality of today's calf offering was not quiet as attractive as last weeks sale. Flesh conditions were attractive as the yearlings were straight off grass and calves right off the cows. Multiple loads of one owner cattle in both the yearlings and calves were available today. Many part loads and packages made up the balance of the sale. Weather conditions continue to improve in the area allowing most of the cattle to make it to market this week. The next feeder sale will be Friday, November 15th, expecting 10,000 or more high quality calves and yearlings.
