Compared to last Friday's sale: Steer calves from 350# to 399# were steady, 400# to 499# were mostly $8.00 to $10.00 were lower with instances of $12.00 lower, 450# to 499# were $3.00 to $4.00 higher, 500# to 549# were $4.00 to $6.00 lower, 550# to 699# were $2.00 to $5.00 higher. Heifer calves 400# to 599# were generally $4.00 to $6.00 higher. No other comparisons available. Good demand and a fairly active market on the calves today. Calves were fully preconditioned and right off the cow, light fleshed and attractive for quality. Several long strings from reputation ranchers ( up to 1200 head per consignment) offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle. Better demand for the full loads of good quality cattle today than for the part loads and packages. Several consignments of reputation replacement heifers were well received and brought a nice premium when compared to the feeder heifers. A very active market on several consignments of yearlings coming off grass. Next feeder sale will be Friday, November 12th, expecting a large run of high quality yearlings and calves. Be safe and enjoy beef.
