Compared to last week limited comparisons available: Steers from 500 lbs to 649 lbs were mostly 6.00 to 8.00 higher, instances 10.00 higher, heifer calves from 500 to 549 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 lower, no other comparisons available. Small run of yearlings today when compared to last weeks sale. Good demand for all classes of cattle today created an active market, more interest in the spring calves today when compared to last weeks sale. Cattle were light fleshed to moderate fleshed condition as the yearlings were off grass and most of the calves being fully preconditioned and right off the cow. Calf price remains highly variable depending on hide color, vaccinations received and packages compared to load lots. Next sale will be Friday, October 14th, expecting a large run of yearlings and spring calves. Warm up with beef.
