Compared to last week: yearling steers 950 to 999 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 1000 to 1049 lbs 5.00 to 7.00 higher with instances up to 9.00 higher on a narrow comparison. Yearling heifers not well compared this week. No price trend available on calves as this is the first sizable offering of the season. A large offering of both yearlings and calves for the Customer Appreciation sale. Very good demand for yearlings off grass, good to very good demand for yearlings out of lots depending on flesh condition, some heavy flesh on lot cattle at times. Quality on yearlings average to attractive with quite a few opportunities to fill pens with same weight cattle. Moderate to good demand for this first calf offering. Most calves came off the cow, but there were a few weaned packages available, weaned from 40 days and longer. Preconditioning varied, from no shots to full preconditioning and price spreads reflect some of these unvaccinated calves. Quality varied, especially on packages, from plain to attractive. An active market on yearlings, moderate to active on calves. A handful of farmer feeders in the seats for calves. Bean harvest is mostly done and corn harvest is well underway. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 21.
