Compared to two weeks ago: Steer calves under 500 lbs steady, over 500 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 higher. Yearling feeder steers were not of similar weights to the last sale, no comparisons can be made. Yearling heifers not well compared as the only comparable weights, 900-1000 lbs, were much heavier fleshed than the cattle offered two weeks ago. The calf market was active, and demand was good. Flesh condition was very attractive as the calves are coming right off the cows and are in a green condition. Not as many long strings as the last sale, still a lot of full loads were offered along with many part loads. The quality was very attractive and there were many buyers competing heavily for these calves, either to run on grass, or to go straight to the feedyard, as well as for heifers to go back out to breed. A large offering of yearlings, the flesh condition varied greatly as there were a good number of cattle that came right off grass in a very light flesh condition while there were also yearlings carrying a much heavier amount of flesh. The market was very active for these cattle as there were long strings offered in multiple load lots, allowing buyers to make full feedyard pens of uniform cattle from one outfit. Next feeder cattle sale will be Dec.11, which will be the annual weaned and preconditioned calf sale. Expecting 9,000-9,500 head including 2,500 yearlings starting at 8:00 am.
