Compared to last week; steer calves from 450 lbs to 599 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher, the 600 lbs to 649 lbs steers were 4.00 - 6.00 lower, 650 lbs to 699 lbs were 3.00 - 4.00 higher. Heifer calves weighing 400 lbs to 549 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 550 - 599 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower, the 600 lbs to 650 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher. Good demand for the calves with a very good demand for today's yearlings that included a string of fancy spayed heifers. Active market with buyers aggressive at time to get multiple loads of one owner cattle. Many long strings of fully preconditioned and long time weaned calves available in today's sale, with a few consignments straight off the cow . Plenty of part loads and packages available to make loads as well. Flesh condition ranged from really green hay fed calves to long time weaned calves that were moderate to moderate plus flesh condition. This was the last feeder cattle auction for 2019. The next feeder cattle auction will be January 3, 2020. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
