Compared to last week: Feeder cattle steers 400 - 700 pounds were 4.00 - 6,00 lower with the exception of 550 - 600 pounds that were higher by 2.00 and over 700 pounds no comparison could be made. Feeder cattle heifers under 400 pounds and from 650 -850 pounds stayed steady, from 450 - 650 pounds were lower 6.00 - 11.00 and over 850 pounds no comparison could be made. Calves that did not receive pre-condition shots were discounted for this sale creating wide price spreads. Most consignments brought a moderate condition calf. There was active market activity with a good to very good demand for today's sale. Next sale, is the first Wednesday sale, Oct 14, 2020.
