Compared to last week: Steers from 500 lbs to 550 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 lower, 550lbs to 600lbs were steady to 2.00 higher, 600 lbs to 650lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 higher, 650 lbs to 700lbs were 3.00 to 4.00 higher; Heifers 450 lbs to 400 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 higher, 550 lbs to 600 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower, 600 lbs to 650 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher. There was a good demand for todays annual weaned and preconditioned calf sale. Most of the offering was weaned for forty-five days or more and had both spring and fall vaccinations. Several long strings from reputations ranches offered buyers the opportunity to put multiple loads together. Flesh condition ranged from moderate to light fleshed calves right off the cow. This was the final feeder sale for 2021, the next feeder sale will be Friday, January 7, 2022. It will be a special calf, yearling and replacement heifer sale. Happy Holidays to everyone and eat beef.
