Compared to last week: Steers from 550 lbs to 799 lbs were generally 2.00 to 6.00 higher, few instances of 3.00 lower, steers from 800 lbs to 899 lbs were mostly 5.00 to 8.00 higher; heifers from 500 lbs to 749 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, instances of 6.00 higher, other weight classes not well compared. An active to very active market on all classes of cattle in todays auction. Good demand on all classes of feeders with very good demand for replacement heifers in todays auction. Several consignments offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads, with plenty of part loads and packages to make loads out of. Most of todays offering was home raised, long time weaned, fully vaccinated and clean haired. A large offering of attractive replacement heifers commanded plenty of attention today as multiple buyers were wanting to own them. Large crowd for todays auction with the usual group of order buyers and a few farmer feeders competing with internet buyers wanting to purchase cattle. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderated plus coming out of a grow yard. Next feeder sale is scheduled for next Friday, March 14, 2025.
