Compared to last week: steers 750 to 850 lbs mostly steady, 851 to 1050 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher with instances up to 6.00 higher on 850 to 900 lbs. Heifers 900 to 1000 lbs steady to 2.00 higher with instances up to 4.00 higher on 950 to 1000 lbs. Good to very good demand for today's large yearling offering featuring many strings, loads and packages, packages included many home raised tested open heifers and fall calves. Many attractive cattle to choose from again this week with buyers often taking advantage of multiple load lots available to fill pens. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus. A couple consignments of spring calves offered today and met with light to moderate demand with best demand seen for the couple loads lots of steers offered. The calves were all off the cow and preconditioned. An active market seen for yearlings, light to moderate activity for calves. Mostly order buyers attending the auction today as farmers are busy with harvest. Harvest is progressing very rapidly in the area as conditions have stayed warm and dry. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 7, expecting another large run of yearlings and a few spring calves.
