Compared to last week Feeder Steers 400 to 450 Steady, 450 to 550 4.00 to 6.00 higher, 550 to 650 Steady, other classes of Feeder Steers not well compared; Feeder Heifers under 500 Steady to 2.00 higher, 500 to 600 4.00 to 6.00 higher, 800 to 850 3.00 higher, other classes of Feeder Heifers not well compared. Very Good Demand for Several Long Strings, and Many Load Lots and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market. The vast majority of the Offering was Spring born calves carrying Light to Moderate Flesh and had both Spring and Fall vaccinations. Much of the Offering were clean open haired cattle with a very attractive presentation. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is November 5th, expecting 5,500 Spring Calves. Remember to Vote on Election Day!

Steers 500–600 lb: high $471.75, low $386.56, median $462.48 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
