Compared to last week: yearling steers 850 to 1000 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower, yearling heifers not well compared. Compared to Saturday's calf sale: steer calves 500 to 550 lbs mostly steady, 551 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Heifer calves 400 to 450 lbs and 551 to 600 lbs mostly steady, 501 to 550 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Good demand for several strings and packages of yearlings in today's offering. Flesh mostly moderate plus overall on yearlings with some carrying a little tag. Quality varied, especially on packages. Moderate to good demand for today's calf offering. Many packages and only a couple of loads offered, many still off the cow but several weaned consignments available, most weaned over 60 days. Quality varied, from plain to attractive. Less flesh overall on the calves than seen on Saturday. A moderate to active market with both buyers and some farmer feeders in the seats again today. Mild weather continues for this time of year. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, December 16.
