Annual BBQ Special Cattle Sale! Compared to the sale two weeks ago: Not enough numbers for light steers in the previous sale. Steers 800-950 lbs 9.00-12.00 higher, with instances sharply higher in 800 lb steers. Light heifers were mostly steady today. Heifers 700 lbs 7.00 to sharply higher, 800 lbs 1.00-6.00 higher, 850-900 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. CME feeder cattle futures up 3.00 today. Scores of load lots including both calves and yearlings, along with plenty of smaller packages in the offering. The seats were full with both buyers and sellers as this auction boasted the largest consignment numbers in Sioux Falls Regional history! Demand was good throughout the sale, especially on load lots.
