Compared to last week: Steers 450 - 500lbs, 15.00 higher; 500 - 550 10.00 higher; 550 - 700, 5.00 - 6.00 higher. Heifers 450 - 650, 2.00 to 4.00 lower; 550 - 600, mostly steady; 600 - 650, 5.00 higher. Lighter weights in both steers and heifers were trending higher from last weeks smaller numbers. A few yearlings were sold, but the sale was primarily spring calves selling on an active market. The majority of the consignments had spring and fall shots, and were fresh off the cows. Demand was good, with some nice replacement type heifer calves likely headed back to the pastures, with a few ranchers in the stands bidding. Vaccinations and hide color also continue to play a roll in price range. Load lots and large packages also were a factor in prices as buyers vied to fill loads. Fall weather returned to the area, following last week's freezing temperatures and snow. The next feeder cattle sale is Nov. 3, starting at 8.a.m.
