Compared to two weeks ago: feeder steers from 400 lbs to 499 lbs were steady to 4.00 lower, steers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher, steers from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were generally 8.00 to 12.00 lower, heifers from 400 lbs to 599 lbs were steady to 8.00 higher, heifers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were mostly 10.00 to 12.00 lower, no other comparisons available. A nice offering of yearlings to go with a large run of spring born calves for todays sale. Several strings of yearlings from reputation producers were met with good demand. An active market on both calves and yearlings for todays sale. Most of todays yearlings were light fleshed coming off grass, with a few moderate plus coming out of grow yards. Wide variation in calf prices today depending on hid color and vaccination programs. Most of the calves were right off the cow and had both spring and fall vaccinations. Best demand for full loads of black hided calves that were fully vaccinated. A large crowd of buyers competing with internet buyers made for a competitive market at todays sale. Next feeder sale will be Friday, December 8, 2023, featuring a weaned calf special.
