Compared to two weeks ago: Yearling feeder steers were not of similar weight to last sale, no comparisons able to be made. Feeder heifers sold with steady to lower undertones compared to last sale's large offering. A lighter offering of yearlings, as the supply gets tighter across the region, the market was active as demand is good for these grass cattle. Very good demand for this first sizable offering of spring born calves. The market was very active throughout the sale, regardless of fall shot status, there were plenty of buyers on the seats, and on the internet, ready to battle it out to buy these good light green calves when they are offered. The quality was top notch, as was the flesh condition. The drought has caused these calves to be in a very light flesh condition, which is highly desirable as they will have plenty of compensatory gain once they start eating from a bunk. Next week, Oct. 1 will be a yearling and calf special sale.
