Compared to last week; feeder steers from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were steady to 6.00 lower, steers from 550 lbs to 599 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 higher, steers from 600 lbs to 699 lbs were steady to 4.00 lower, steers from 750 lbs to 799 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher; heifers from 500 lbs to 649 lbs were 6.00 to 10.00 lower, no other comparisons were available. Big weaned calf special sale today with a few consignments of old crop yearlings. Several long strings of long time weaned, fully preconditioned calves were met with good to very good demand. Plenty of part loads and packages offered buyers the opportunity to put loads together. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate fleshed coming out of a grow yards. Lots of order buyers along with farmer feeders in the seats competing with internet buyers made for a fairly active market. A limited offering of yearlings sold on lower undertones and not as active a market when compared to calves. Next feeder sale will be Friday, January 5, 2024.
