Compared to last week Feeder Steers under 500 10.00 to 15.00 higher, 500 to 550 8.00 to 10.00 higher, 550 to 600 Steady to 6.00 higher, 600 to 650 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 650 to 700 4.00 to 6.00 higher, Feeder Heifers under 450 10.00 to 15.00 higher, 450 to 500 6.00 to 8.00 higher, 500 to 550 Steady to 2.00 higher, 550 to 650 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Very Good Demand for Several Long Strings and Many Load Lots and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers which sold on an Active to Very Active Market. Nearly the entire Supply consisted of Home Raised Calves, off the cow with Spring and Fall vaccinations, carrying light to moderate Flesh. Most of the weighing conditions were favorable except for a few instances of some extra tag and fill on some cattle likely due to the recent cold weather across the local country. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is November 7, expecting 7,500 head.
