No sale last week due to Thanksgiving. Compared to two weeks ago: steer calves 500 to 550 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower, 551 to 600 lbs unevenly steady, 601 to 700 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves 450 to 550 lbs mostly steady, 551 to 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 601 to 650 lbs mostly steady. Lighter offering of yearlings than last week with steady undertones noted on yearling steers and heifers. Good to very good demand for loads and packages of yearling steers and heifers offered today. Flesh varied, from moderate to some heavy flesh. A couple loads of steers still coming off grass. Some tag on the yearlings but most had clean hides. Moderate to good demand for calves today. Quality mostly attractive on the calves that sold in mostly packages with just a handful of loads. One weaned package but he rest of the calf offering was off the cow and had all their shots or at least one full round. Less flesh on the calves than two weeks ago, mostly moderate flesh overall on the calves. A moderate to active market with order buyers and a couple farmer feeders in the seats. The area received a large amount of snow and blizzard conditions over the weekend further complicating life for producers. There is still quite a bit of corn in the fields and the ground has yet to freeze hard. These conditions have further dampened interest in buying calves to feed. Big special weaned calf sale on Saturday, December 7, and regular feeder calf sale next Wednesday, December 11.
