FEEDER CATTLE 4185 3794 6723
Compared to last week: Yearling steers not well compared, yearling heifers
from 800 lbs to 899 lbs were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Limited comparisons
on calf weights, but a higher market would be noted compared to last week.
Very good demand for yearlings with most coming off grass and light fleshed.
Many consignments of tested open heifers coming off grass that buyers could put
together and make loads. A feature consignment of spayed heifers off grass with
20 loads in the same sort. A couple consignments of yearling steers offered in
full loads. Multiple consignments of spring calves coming off the cow with a
complete spring and fall vaccination program. Calves were met with moderate
demand as most feeders are not ready for a bawling calf. An active market as
internet buyers and order buyers cautiously pick and chose their purchases.
There is a large price spread on the same weight and class of cattle depending
on quality and amount of fill. Next sale is Oct 10, 2025, expecting a large run
of calves and yearlings.
