FEEDER CATTLE 3270 2326 5364
Compared to last week: yearling steers not well compared, best test on
yearling heifers 7.00 to 9.00 higher on a narrow comparison. Very good demand
for yearlings, both out of yards and off grass. Flesh varied quite a bit, even
on grass cattle, from moderate to some heavy flesh at times. Yearling sold in
loads and strings with opportunities to buy multiple loads to fill pens which
buyers did at times. This was the first spring calf offering, calves met with
good to very good demand. Just a light offering of calves, all off the cow,
with quite a few loads for such a limited offering. Flesh varied with some
calves in light flesh to some that had seen quite a bit of creep feed in
moderate plus. Preconditioning varied, but most calves had at least one
complete round of shots. An active market on both yearlings and calves with
the normal crowd of buyers and a few farmer feeders in the seats determined to
own cattle despite a day of large losses on the feeder complex. This was
finally a sunny day and many were able to get back in the field to start
harvesting again. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, October 24.
