Compared to 2 weeks ago 450 lbs to 499 lbs steers were steady to 2.00 higher, steers from 500 lbs to 650 lbs were steady, the 651 to 700 lbs steers were steady to 2.00 lower. Heifer calves were steady to 2.00 higher. No comparison made on the yearlings. Good demand for the large offering of fully preconditioned calves. Very good demand for todays offering of yearlings. Several long strings of calves and yearlings today offered buyers the opportunity to buy multiple loads of one owner cattle. Numerous consignments offered in part loads and packages din't sell as easily as the full loads. Flesh conditions were light to moderate as the yearlings cattle were straight off grass and the calves were unweaned. Some the of cattle have really greened up, showing the affects of the winter storm that passed through the area during the Thanksgiving weekend. Many buyers in the seats made for a fairly active market. Friday, December 13th, will be the annual weaned and preconditioned calf and yearling sale expecting a large run of high quality feeder cattle.
