As filed

Compared to last Friday: Feeder steer calves under 600 pounds were 3.00 - 6.00 lower. Feeder steer calves over 600 pounds were 1.00 - 4.00 higher. Yearling steer calves were steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifer calves were steady to 4.00 lower. Numbers on the yearling heifers were light this week but compared steady overall. Yearling offerings had a moderate to moderate plus flesh condition while calves were mostly an attractive moderate. There were large consignments selling by the truck load that brought a premium, as expected. The market was active with offerings readily clearing the market. The offerings that had both sets of shots brought a good demand. Next sale is Wed Oct 30, 2019.
