FEEDER CATTLE 3449 1661 1695
No yearlings last week for comparison. Best test on steer calves 600 to 649
lbs 5.00 higher on a narrow comparison, heifer calves not well compared. A
large yearling offering this week, strings of both steers and heifers available
with many opportunities to buy multiple loads to fill pens. Yearlings mostly
in moderate to moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. Good to
very good demand for yearlings. A lighter offering of calves with most calves
selling in packages, just a couple loads available. A few consignments were
weaned but the majority are still coming off the cow. Quality varied, from
plain to attractive. Mostly good demand for calves, it was just a bit harder
to make loads of calves today. An active market with many buyers trying to tie
up loose ends before the end of the year. Temperatures have been very up and
down lately making it harder calves, especially newly weaned ones. This is the
last feeder cattle sale of 2025, next feeder cattle sale will be Friday,
January 9, 2026. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
