Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 3.00 to 6.00 higher, except 400-450 lbs steers and heifers 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Yearling feeder steers and heifers steady to firm in a very narrow comparison. Good demand for this very large offering of calves. Very good demand for the limited yearling offering. Many long strings of high quality calves, many offered in full loads which sold on an active market, along with numerous smaller consignments offered in part loads and packages that didn't sell as easily. Flesh condition was light overall, some cattle were so light fleshed that they lost some of their eye appeal and looked a little rough as the wet and cold weather the past month really greened the calves up, yet there were also many extremely attractive calves as well. There were many buyers on the seats ready to buy calves and get their yards filled as they have some corn combined and their yards are ready for receiving cattle. As the CME Live Cattle futures are dollars higher from where they were at the start of the fall marketing season cattle feeders have more confidence that profitable days lie ahead and are approaching the market in a more assertive manner. Next feeder cattle sale will be Nov 22, 2019 expecting 9,000 feeder cattle.
