No feeder cattle last week due to Thanksgiving, compared to two weeks ago: best test on yearling steers 1000 to 1050 lbs 5.00 higher, higher undertones noted on other weight classes of yearling steers. Best test on yearling heifers 850 to 900 lbs and 950 to 1000 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Steer calves 500 to 550 lbs and 600 to 650 lbs 8.00 to 12.00 higher with instances up to 18.00 higher on 500 to 550 lbs, 651 to 750 lbs steady to 4.00 higher. Best test on heifer calves 500 to 550 lbs and 600 to 650 lbs 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Very good demand for yearlings again this week. The featured consignment was a string of 800 steers, many other loads and packages of steers and heifers offered as well. Flesh mostly moderate to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Good to very good demand for calves. Mostly packages with just a handful of loads today. Flesh varied, but mostly light to moderate plus. The majority of the calves had shots and come off the cow. An active market for both calves and yearlings. Buyers were anxious to fill pens and took all loads of yearlings when offered. The area is enjoying above normal temps this week. Special weaned and preconditioned feeder calf sale Saturday, December 4, with 5000 head expected. Regular feeder calf sale on Wednesday, December 8.
