Compared to last Friday, yearling steers had limited numbers to get a good comparison. Yearling heifers from 850 lbs to 899 lbs were 6.00 to 10.00 higher, the 950 lbs to 999 lbs were 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Overall it was a stronger yearling market that was met with a very good demand. Best comparison on steer calves were from 450 lbs to 700 lbs weight range and the market was steady to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher. There was a good buyer demand for calves with overall stronger undertones. The market improved as the sale progressed. All the feeder cattle were in attractive flesh conditions as they were coming right off grass. Multiple loads of one owner cattle in both the yearling and calves were available today. Many part loads and packages made up the balance of the sale. Weather conditions continue to improve in the region allowing producers to get cattle to market or prepare to put cattle in the feed yard. Next feeder sale will be Friday, November 8th, expecting over 10,000 high quality calves and yearlings.
