Too few yearlings last week to compare to today and develop an accurate price trend, higher undertones noted on yearling steers. Many strings and loads of yearlings offered today, both off grass and out of yards, selling with good to very good demand. Quality varied, but many attractive yearlings to choose from. Several consignments of calves offered today, demand varied but mostly good to very good. Several loads from reputation outfits saw the best demand, with heifers going back to the country. Most of the calves had full preconditioning, and came both off the cow and weaned, from 30 to 40 days. Flesh light to moderate with some moderate plus on the calves. An active market with mostly order buyers attending the sale today as farmers are busy with harvest. NExt feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 13.
