Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers under 500 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, over 500 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher except 550-600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Very good demand for this weaned calf sale, the quality was outstanding and the cattle were very eye appealing as their hides were clean, shiny, and open haired. Flesh condition light to moderate. There were many long strings, including one consignment of 600 head. Buyers were able to buy full loads of calves all day long as there were numerous full loads of steers and heifers offered. The market was active as buyers highly desire these weaned calves. Next feeder cattle auction will be Dec. 15, 2020.
