Compared to last week: Steers from 450 lbs to 499 lbs were 8.00 to 12.00 
higher, steers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs were15.00 to 20.00 lower, steers from 
550 lbs to 599 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 higher, steers from 850 lbs to 899 lbs 
were 10.00 to 15.00 lower, steers from 900 lbs to 949 lbs were steady to 4.00 
higher, steers from 950 lbs to 999 lbs were 5.00 to 6.00 lower, heifers from 
450 lbs to 499 lbs were 20.00 to 30.00 lower, heifers from 900 lbs to 949 lbs 
were 4.00 to 6.00 lower, heifers from 950 lbs to 999 lbs were steady to 2.00 
higher, other weight classes not comparable.  Big run of cattle with several 
strings of yearling steers and heifers that were offered in multiple loads in 
the same sort.  Multiple consignments of tested open replacement heifers gave 
buyers the opportunity to make full loads.  an active market on todays 
yearlings with most being in light to moderate flesh condition, coming off 
pasture.  
Nice run of spring born calves right off the cow and having two rounds of 
vaccinations.  Calf quality today was outstanding and in very attractive 
condition.  A less active market on the calves when compared to the yearlings.  
 Most feed yards are experiencing muddy conditions and not ready for a bawling 
calf.  A lower futures market and lack off demand for fat cattle has made 
buyers cautious and selective in their purchases.  Next feeder sale will be 
October 9, 2026, expecting a large run of yearlings and spring born calves.
