Compared to last Friday; Steers from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were steady to 5.00 lower, steers from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 higher; Heifers from 400 lbs to 459 lbs were 5.00 to 6.00 lower, heifers from 450 lbs to 499 lbs were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, heifers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower, 550 lbs to 599 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 higher, heifers from 900 lbs to 949 lbs were steady to 2.00 to higher. No other comparisons available. A very active market with lots of buying power in the seats. Multiple loads of one owner cattle were available in both yearlings and calves today, lots of part loads and packages available as will. Most of the calves were fully preconditioned right off the cow. Yearlings were off grass and in light to moderate flesh condition. The cattle were attractive in condition as they were clean, open haired and coming off dry pasture conditions. Dry conditions persist in the area allowing fall harvest to continue with few interruptions. Next feeder sale will be a special black hided sale, Wednesday, October 26th. Eat beef!
