Compared to last Friday:  steer calves from 400 lbs to 599 lbs and 650 lbs to 
699 lbs were generally 15.00 to 20.00 higher, steers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs 
were 8.00 to 12.00 higher. Heifer calves from 450 lbs to 599 lbs were 15.00 to 
20.00 higher. No comparisons on the yearlings due to limited numbers.  Good to 
very good demand for todays active market as cattle feeders are looking to fill 
available pen space.  House full of buyers and sellers with plenty of internet 
bidders participating in todays auction.  Several strings of fancy, reputation 
calves in todays offering garnered  plenty of interest, whether it was for 
feeder steers or replacement heifers.  Many loads lots with plenty of part 
loads and packages for today sale. Most of the calves were fully vaccinated and 
right off the cow and attractive for quality.  A limited supply of yearlings 
with most being off grass were in light to moderate flesh condition.  Road and 
pen conditions have improved this past week with just a few cancellations for 
todays sale.  A positive close in the futures market gave buyers a sigh of 
relief.  Next feeder cattle auction is scheduled for November 20, 2026, 
expecting a large run of high quality cattle.
