Compared to last week: Steer calves 2.00 to 6.00 higher, except 550-600 lbs 2.00 lower. Heifer calves 2.00 to 4.00 higher. No comparison for yearling steers as last week there were few of those consignments, yearling feeder heifers 950-1000 lbs 5.00 higher. Good demand for this very large offering of high quality, light fleshed calves. There were many long strings of these calves that were offered in full loads and multiple load lots and sold on a very active market. Farmer feeders are mostly complete with their fall harvest and are fully ready to receive calves. The flesh condition of these calves was very light, overall making them even more appealing to cattle feeders. The winter storm that struck the region two weeks ago was tough on these calves and many looked to be 50 lbs, or more light because of the rough conditions they endured. Demand was very good for this nice offering of long strings of yearlings, which were offered in multiple full load lots and the market was very active for these high quality cattle as strings of light fleshed yearlings are hard to find this late in the season. Next feeder cattle sale will be Nov. 13, 2020 expecting 10,000 feeder cattle.
