Compared to two weeks ago: Light feeder steers sold higher on a lite test, steers 500-800 lbs. sold steady to 1.00 higher, steers over 800 -1000 lbs. sold steady to 3.00 lower, steers over 1000 lbs sold lower on a very light test. Feeder heifers up to 650 lbs. sold 1.00-4.00 higher, heifers over 650 lbs. sold steady to 2.00 lower, a lower undertone was noted on heifers over 1000 lbs . on a lite test. Many load lots on the yearlings. Demand was good. Buyers paid top dollar for light fleshed calves with shots and weaned. The next feeder cattle sale will be Jan. 2nd, expecting 6500 head of cattle. The sale will start at 7:00 am with pound cows, at 8:30 we will start on the yearlings then spring calves.
