Compared to last week: best test on yearling steers 1000 to 1049 lbs mostly steady, steer calves not well compared, higher undertones noted on 550 to 599 lbs. Yearling heifers and calves not well compared. A lighter yearling offering than last week featuring a couple of strings and quite a few packages. Good to very good demand for loads of yearlings, moderate to good demand for packages. Quality varied, especially on packages. Overall, less flesh condition on yearlings this week than last week. A much larger calf offering than last week which was met with good demand. Many loads and many, many packages of calves, almost all coming off the cow. Most calves had full preconditioning or had at least a full round of fall shots. Flesh condition ranged from light to moderate plus. There were quite a few calves that had seen some creep feed in today's offering. An active market on yearlings, moderate to active on calves with the market weakening slightly throughout the day. Quite a few farmer feeders in the seats as many have finished harvesting and are ready for calves. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, November 18. This will be the last feeder cattle sale before Thanksgiving.
