Compared to two weeks ago: steers from 800 lbs to 999 lbs were generally 3.00 to 6.00 lower with instances 8.00 to 10.00 lower; heifers from 750 lbs to 999 lbs mostly 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Big run of yearlings and spring calves for the 75th Anniversary sale. Several long strings of yearlings off reputation ranches offered buyers the opportunity to purchase up to 10 loads of one owner cattle in the same sort. Most of the yearlings were off grass and in light to medium flesh conditions. Good demand for todays sale with more interest in the yearlings than the spring calves. Most of the spring calves were fully preconditioned and right off the cow. Calf price is highly variable depending on hide color, vaccinations received and full loads versus packages. Next feeder sale is Friday, October 7, 2022. Enjoy your BEEF!
