Compared to last week, steer calves sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower and yearling feeders sold steady to 3.00 lower. Heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher, yearling feeders sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower and Slaughter bulls sold 4.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good for this week’s trade. Quite a few cows and thin bulls going back to feed. Some of the calves had fall precondition shots. Drought conditions continue throughout the state and some ranchers are selling a little earlier than normal because of these conditions. Weaning the calves early will help save some feed resources and let cows get back in shape before winter. Looking at the receipts below quite a few more slaughter cows and replacement cattle have made their way to town compared to same week last year.
