Compared to last week: Steers from 400 lbs to 449 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 higher, steers from 450 lbs to 599 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower, instances 4.00 lower, steers from 600 lbs to 699 lbs were 2.00 to 6.00 higher; Heifers from 350 lbs to 449 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, heifers from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were 6.00 to 10.00 higher. An active market on all classes and weights of cattle today. Big crowd of consigners, order buyers, farmer feeders and internet buyers in attendance for todays sale. One string of yearlings off grass offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads, lots of part loads and packages available as well. Most of the yearlings were in light to moderate flesh condition with a few moderate plus coming out of a grow yard. Calves were attractive for quality, most had two rounds of vaccinations and were right off the cow. An active market from start to finish. Mild weather continues in the area. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday November 22, 2024.
