Compared to last week: steers 850 to 949 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher, 950 to 999 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers not well compared. A large offering of yearlings today selling in mostly strings and loads with a handful of packages, most of these were tested open heifers. Good to very good demand, with all but one consignment coming right off grass. Many attractive cattle to choose from, most in light to moderate flesh and empty. An active market with buyers interested in filling pens with multiple loads. The futures complex had a positive week helping to fuel the market. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, October 17, the Customer Appreciation sale, which will feature both yearlings and the first offering of spring calves.
