Compared to last week: Steers from 750 lbs to 799 lbs were steady to 1.00 lower, steers from 900 lbs to 999 lbs were steady to 1.00 higher, heifers weighing 750 lbs to 849 lbs were 1.00 to 3.00 lower, heifers weighing 950 lbs to 999 lbs were 1.00 to 2.00 higher. No other comparisons were made due to the limited numbers in their weight categories. Not as many cattle for today's auction when compared to last weeks big anniversary sale. There was a smaller crowd of people in attendance and not as many order buyers as last week. Fairly active market as buyers were aggressive at times to procure cattle, most obvious when there were multiple loads of one owner cattle available. Todays offering consisted of yearling steers, tested open replacement heifers with several consignments of fall calves. Most of the cattle were coming off dry pasture conditions and were in light fleshed to moderate fleshed condition. Cash fat cattle continues to see small improvement from one week to the next. Last Friday's cattle on feed report indicated more placements in feed yards than expected, fewer market ready cattle marketed than expected, yet the cash fat cattle trade was higher week over week. Packers have plenty of room to give more money and still be profitable, meat exports are record large, is demand better than most of us ever dreamed of? Next feeder sale will be Friday, October 9th, expecting a large run of yearlings and spring calves. STAY SAFE!
