Compared to last week: no comparisons made on yearling steers and heifers. Steer calves were 3.00 to 5.00 lower for steers weighing 450 lbs to 599 lbs, the 600 lbs to 649 lbs steers were 6.00 to 8.00 lower. Only comparisons available on heifers were 450 lbs to 549 lbs and they were 4.00 to 6.00 lower. No other comparisons available. Good to moderate demand for today's yearlings that were right off grass and in light to moderate flesh condition. There was a more active market on today's calves that had their preconditioning shots and were straight off the cow. This weeks adverse weather made it difficult for producers to get their cattle to town causing several cancelations in today's sale. The continued pounding of the futures market this past week and a lower cash fat cattle trade with a bearish cattle on feed repot may have weighed on today's auction. Next feeder sale will be next Wednesday, October 25th expecting a large run of high quality of black hided calves. They have also extended the Wednesday sales thru November 4, 2020
