Compared to last Friday: Steers from 400 lbs to 449 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher, steers from 450 lbs to 599 lbs were steady to 3.00 higher, steers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower; Heifers from 400 lbs to 449 lbs and 500 lbs to 549 lbs were steady to 3.00 higher, heifers from 450 lbs to 499 lbs and heifers from 500 lbs to 599 lbs were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher with instances of 10.00 higher. No other comparisons available, although higher undertones would be noted. Good to very good demand for todays yearling offering which consisted of loads and some packages. An active market on the yearlings as most were light to medium flesh coming off dry pastures. Yearling numbers continue to dwindle. Calves were well received with most being fully vaccinated, right off the cow and attractive for quality. Calves were light to medium flesh as pasture conditions continue to deteriorate due to warm and dry weather. Multiple consignments of reputation black hided calves offered in full loads continue to bring a premium. Mostly order buyers, farmer feeders and internet buyers made for a full house and a very active market. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Wednesday, October 30, 2024, expecting a large run of black hided calves, starting at 1:00 pm central time.
