This was the Ft Pierre Livestock Auction's 73rd Anniversary Sale. Compared to two weeks ago: Steers from 850 lbs to 999 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher, the heifers weighing 800 lbs to 999 lbs were steady to instances of 2.00 lower. Good to excellent demand for today's offering of yearling cattle right off grass and unweaned spring calves. Yearling cattle coming off dry pastures in the area were in light to moderate flesh condition. Several long strings of steers and spayed heifers offered in house buyers and internet buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle. Lots and lots of tested open replacement heifers gave the buyers the opportunity to put part loads and packages together. The next feeder sale is Friday, October 2nd , expecting a large run of yearlings. Stay safe.
