Compared to last Week: Feeder Steers under 400 Steady, 400 to 500 4.00 to 6.00 higher, 500 to 650 1.00 to 3.00 higher, Feeder Heifers under 450 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 450 to 650 Steady. Very Good Demand for Many Long Strings, Load Lots, and Many Many Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and a couple packages of Replacement Heifers which sold on a Moderate Market at first but strengthened to a Very Strong, Active Market midway through the sale and maintained that pace through the end. The entire Offering was Home Raised, carried light to moderate flesh and were clean, open haired calves with a favorable weigh-up. Some calves showed signs of being in mud due to the recent moisture making for muddy pens in the country but the slight tag did not seem to have a negative affect on their marketability. The Next Feeder Cattle Sales are: Wednesday, October 27, Spring Calf Special, expecting 2,500 Head; Friday, October 29, Yearling and Spring Calf Special, expecting 7,000 Head.
