FEEDER CATTLE            4839           4591    8149      
  
  
Compared to last week: steers from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were 20.00 to 30.00 
higher with instances of 40.00 higher, steers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were 8.00 
to 12.00 higher; heifers calves from 500 lbs to 549 lbs were 15.00 to 25.00 
higher, heifers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 higher. No other 
comparisons available.  Limited number of yearlings for todays auctions, so no 
price comparisons available on the yearlings. A big run of calves today for 
todays special weaned calf sale.  Most of the offering had been long time 
weaned, fully vaccinated and ready to go on full feed.  A few consignments of 
calves coming right off the cow.  An active market with internet buyers 
competing with order buyers and a few farmer feeders in the seats today.  Flesh 
condition ranged from light flesh hay fed cattle to moderate plus coming out of 
a grow yard.  Several weather related conciliations due to icy road conditions 
in the area.  This is the last feeder cattle auction scheduled for 2025. Next 
feeder sale is scheduled for January 9, 2026.  Merry Christmas and Happy New 
Year.
