Compared to last week steer calves were steady with lower undertones noted. Heifer calves from 400 lbs to 549 lbs were 5.00 to 10.00 lower, 550 lbs to 650 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Yearling cattle were not well tested. Good demand for the very large offering of fully preconditioned calves. Very good demand for the limited number of yearlings. Several long strings offered cattle buyers the opportunity to buy multiple loads of one owner cattle. Numerous consignments offered in part loads and packages that didn't sell as easily as the full loads. Flesh condition was light to moderate as the yearling cattle were straight off grass and the calves were unweaned. Many buyers in the seats made for a fairly active market. Next feeder cattle sale will be Friday, December 6th, expecting a large run of high quality feeder cattle. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
