Compared to last week: steers 400 to 449 lbs 15.00 to 20.00 higher, 450 to 599 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 600 to 649 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 6.00 lower. Heifers 400 to 549 lbs 7.00 to 12.00 higher, 550 to 599 lbs mostly steady. Very good demand for this large offering of attractive quality calves. Many load lots and packages to choose from, all coming off the cow in light to moderate flesh. Most of the calves had two good rounds of shots. Quite a few colored calves offered and many times met with equal demand and price to blacks. An active market with a full house of buyers, farmer feeders and bull breeders all eager to own cattle. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, November 14.
