No feeders last week due to Thanksgiving, compared to two weeks ago: best test on yearling steers 900 to 950 lbs mostly steady, 951 to 1000 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Steer calves 450 to 500 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher, 501 to 550 lbs not well compared, 551 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Best test on yearling heifers 800 to 900 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 2.00 higher on 850 to 900 lbs. Heifer calves 450 to 500 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 501 to 550 lbs not well compared, 551 to 600 lbs mostly steady. Good demand for both yearlings and calves today. Similar to two weeks ago, yearling quality varied, from plain to attractive, and flesh ranging from light to moderate plus. A couple strings and many packages and loads offered. A much smaller calf offering than two weeks ago, most of the calf offering sold in packages. Most calves had full preconditioning, or at least one full round of shots in the fall, and almost all were off the cow. Flesh mostly light to moderate on calves with some moderate plus at times. An active market seen for this offering with both order buyers and farmer feeders in the seats today. The weather continues to be very mild for this time of year. Special weaned and preconditioned feeder cattle sale Saturday, December 5, and regular feeder sale Wednesday, December 9.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
