As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 550 lbs not well compared, over 550 lbs steady to higher undertones. Heifer calves under 500 lbs sold with lower undertones, 500-600 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Yearling feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher, yearling heifers steady with instance of 6.00 higher on 750 lbs. Good demand for steer and heifer calves, improved demand on a 500 lbs heifer this week as those heifers narrowed the large price gap from the steers. Overall quality of calves was not as attractive as there were more small packages of smaller framed, fleshier cattle that didn't possess that growthy look. The fall weather has been mild and weaned calves have gained very easily, resulting in a little too much flesh condition. Good demand for yearlings, many long strings of yearlings offered in full loads and multiple load lots, flesh condition continued pretty heavy but yet there were still ample buyers will to compete heavily, as the yearling supply is tight across the region.
