Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good. Calves coming to town were weaned along with some fresh off the cow. Most cattle had spring and fall shots with some getting wormed and poured. Some weaned calves starting to display a little extra flesh as most of the fall has had very warm temperatures and cattle have not had to burn off calories to stay warm. Early week feedlot sales trading lower than last week with live sales at 107.00 and dressed sales at 168.00-170.00. Abrupt weather change on Thursday as early week daytime highs were in the 60's, by week's close in the mid 30's. Some light snow is expected in some area of the state.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
