Compared to last week: Feeder steers too lightly tested last week to compare with this week's very large offering. A higher undertone was noted on light steers. Heifers 600-850 lbs. sold on an unevenly steady market, other weights not well compared. Demand was good. Had two featuring consigners today, in steers was 1500 black thin fleshed feeders from 1080-1125 lbs. buyers filled many large orders with this consignment, In spring calves we had a consignment of 340 head of light fleshed home raised calves with all shots. Flesh and shots determined prices. The next feeder cattle auction will be Nov. 2nd, expecting 3000 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
