Compared to last week: Yearling feeder steers too lightly tested for comparison, yearling feeder heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves not well tested last week to offer a comparison with this week's much larger offering. Good to very good demand for yearling steers and heifers, flesh condition was attractive as these cattle were right off grass. Moderate demand for this offering of high quality, very attractive, fully preconditioned spring born steer and heifer calves. The full loads of calves sold on a moderately active market while the packages and part loads found fewer outlets. Rain across the region caused several cancellations as muddy conditions kept some producers from being able to load and haul cattle to town. Next feeder cattle sale will be Oct. 11, 2019.
