Compared to last week: this was the first real test of the fall calf market
so no market trend available on calves although a strong demand noted. Only
test on yearling steers was in the 950 to 1000 lb range and they traded mostly
3.00 higher. Yearling heifers from 800 to 900 lbs traded 2.00 to mostly 6.00
higher. Good demand for this offering of yearlings with the strangest demand
for steers weighing over 950 lbs and heifers between 850 and 900 lbs. Flesh
condition ranged from light to heavy, with most carrying a moderate flesh
condition. Many full loads in the offering again this week. 59 percent were
steers; 41 percent heifers. 73 percent weighing over 600 lbs. Next week, Nov
2, expecting 2,500 head of feeder cattle starting at 9:00am.
