As filed

Compared to last Friday: steers from 400 lbs to 549 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 lower, steers from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to 4.00 lower. Heifers from 450 lbs to 599 lbs were 2.00 to 6.00 lower. No other comparisons available. Very active market on all classes of cattle with lots of buyers in the seats and plenty of activity on the internet. Multiple loads of one owner cattle available at times in todays offering with lots of part loads and packages available to make loads as well. Yearlings were off grass and in light to moderate flesh condition. Most of the calves were fully pre-conditioned and right off the cow. The cattle were attractive in condition as they were clean, open haired and coming off dry pasture conditions. Next feeder sale will be Friday, November 11, a big special all breed calf and yearling sale. Enjoy a beef steak.
