Compared to last week: Steer calves steady to 2.00 higher, except 550-600 lbs and 650-700 lbs 10.00 higher. Heifer calves unevenly steady, except 450-500 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher. Good to very good demand for this large offering of steer and heifer calves in light to moderate plus flesh. Most of the consignments were fully preconditioned. The weather has been extremely mild, allowing calves to easily maintain body condition and look very bloomy and clean while still on the cow, flesh condition overall was moderate. The market was most active on the greener black hided calves that really possess a lot of eye appeal, the market is much slower on the colored cattle as these bring a discounted price. With cash fat cattle at 153.00, or higher, cattle feeders are feeling better about the coming months yet the cost of gain is very concerning and keeping them a bit restrained. Next feeder cattle sale will be next Thursday Nov. 10, 2022.
