Last feeder sale was four weeks ago so no price trend or price comparisons made. Good to excellent demand for today's offering of feeder cattle. Today's sale consisted mostly of yearling and weaned fall calves off grass. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed to moderate fleshed. Conditions were in buyers favor as most of the cattle were from dry country with short grass conditions. A large crowd of order buyers on the seats with more farmer feeders than the last sale, internet buyers continue to be fairly constant participates. Several long strings of yearling steers and spayed heifers gave buyers the opportunity to buy multiple loads of one owner cattle. There were lots of part loads and packages of mostly tested open heifers or weaned fall calves that buyers could make loads out of. There was one consignment of spring calves in today's sale and to make a full load the steer and heifer calves were sold together. They weighed 415 lbs and brought $1.74 per hundred weight. The calves were predominately Charolais cross and mixed colored. Next feeder sale in two weeks on Friday, September 11th.
