Compared to the feeder calf/yearling auction just 2 weeks ago, today all weight ranges of both steers and heifers were 20.00 to 40.00 higher. Demand was very good with buyers very aggressive given the up-tick in the CME. Available today were many quality, home-raised, long time weaned and green feeder calves. Also many opportunities for reputation replacement heifers calves. Trade was very active for the moderate supply. The next scheduled feeder calf auction is Dec. 11.
