Compared to last week yearling steers from 950 lbs to 999 lbs were steady. This was the only comparisons made for the yearling steers. The 950 lbs to 999 lbs yearling heifers were the only comparisons and they were 5.00 to 6.00 lower. There was a good demand for today's yearling market that consisted of mainly tested open heifers and packages of steers. Several consignments of yearlings that were offered as full loads were meet with better buyer demand than the packages. Calves would be mostly steady. Good demand for today's offering of the fully preconditioned calves, most right off the cow. Several long strings of reputation calves were met with good demand. There were plenty of part loads and packages offered today that gave buyers the opportunity to put loads together. The next feeder sale will be Friday, November 20th, exacting 9,000 feeder cattle. Stay safe
