Compared to last week: Steer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher, except 450 lbs to 600 lbs 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Heifer calves steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was very good across the board for all weights of steer and heifer calves, however there was more demand on a steer calf weighing 500 lbs. Buyers continue to seek straight black hided cattle, and discount mixed colored cattle. Trucks were not as hard to come by this week which lent support to the market, as well as Live Cattle Futures holding at 133.00 to 141.00. More fully preconditioned cattle this week but still plenty of outlets exist for those lacking fall shots. Next feeder sale will be Friday, December 3, 2021.
