Compared to last Friday: steers from 450 lbs to 499 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher, steers from 500 lbs to 699 lbs were steady to instances of 6.00 lower, heifers from 450 lbs to 599 lbs were mostly steady. No other comparisons available. Good to very good demand for today's nice offering of yearlings which consisted of several strings and lots of part loads and packages. An active market on the yearlings as most were light to medium flesh coming off dry pasture. Calves were well received with most being fully vaccinated, right off the cow and attractive for quality. Calves were light to medium flesh as pasture conditions continue to deteriorate due to warm and dry weather. Multiple consignments of reputation calves offered in full loads continue to bring a premium. Mostly order buyers, farmer feeders and internet buyers made for a full house and an active market. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, November 8, 2024.
