Compared to two weeks ago week: Steer calves 2.00 to 5.00 higher, except 650-750 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Yearling feeder steers 2.00 to 4.00 higher, instances to 10.00 higher on 1000-1050 lbs. Yearling heifers 3.00 to 6.00 higher, instances to 10.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for this large offering of calves, most fully preconditioned and a good amount of them weaned. Flesh condition was uneven as the calves off the cow were in light flesh, while the weaned calves were carrying more flesh condition. However, all the calves were clean and open haired making them very appealing regardless of their weaning status. The weather has been very mild and dry, making it very easy for these weaned calves to put a little extra condition yet still stay clean. Very good demand for the large offering of yearlings. Many longs strings, from plain to very attractive, offered in full loads and multiple load lots, which made for a great selection for buyers to enter the market at a wide variety of price points. Flesh on the yearlings was light to moderate plus. The market was very active as the supply of these cattle are dwindling rapidly and buyers want to get these cattle bought while they are still available. Next week, Dec. 10, will be the BBQ special sale expecting 5,000 plus feeders and starting at 8:30 am.
