generally steady, heifers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher,
heifers from 800 lbs to 849 lbs were steady to 3.00 lower. A big run of feeder
cattle and replacement heifers for todays auction. Good to very good demand
for todays offering that consisted of mostly home raised fall calves,
backgrounded feeders and replacement heifers. An active market on all classes
with order buyers and farmer feeders competing with internet buyers. Several
strings of front end replacement heifers garnered plenty of interest with the
winning bidder giving over $4,300 per head for some top notch heifers. Flesh
condition ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle that were running out on
pasture to moderate plus coming out of a grow yard. Several strings offered in
multiple loads with plenty of part loads and packages available to make loads.
Falll calf consignments were full vaccinated and right off the cow. The next
feeder sale is Friday, May 8, 2026.
