Compared to last Friday: Steers from 400 lbs to 449 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 lower, steers from 450 lbs to 499 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 higher, steers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 lower, steers from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher, steers from 900 lbs to 949 lbs were steady; heifers from 350 lbs to 549 lbs were 2.00 lower to 4.00 higher. No other comparisons were available. Good to very good demand for a couple long strings of yearlings along with lots of part loads and packages of tested open replacement heifers. Yearlings were light to medium fleshed as they were coming off dry pasture conditions. Todays offering of spring calves were met with good to very good demand. Most of the calves had spring and fall vaccinations and were straight off the cow. Lots of buyers in the seats competing with internet buyers made for an active market. Extremely dry and warm conditions in the area continue to deteriorate pasture conditions with no relief in sight. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct 23, 2024 featuring black hided calves.
