Compared to last week, yearling steers from 900 lbs to 949 lbs were 8.00 to 
10.00 higher, no comparisons on yearling heifers.  Most yearlings were light to 
moderate flesh and coming off pasture.  A couple of strings of yearlings in 
todays offering along with plenty of part loads and packages of tested open 
replacement heifers.  An active market for todays yearling offering as their 
availability continues to dwindle.  Steer calves from 400 lbs to 449 lbs were 
10.00 to 12.00 higher, steer calves from 450 lbs to 499 lbs were generally 6.00 
to 8.00 lower, steers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher, 
steers from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 higher.  Heifers calves from 
350 lbs to 449 lbs were 20.00 to 30.00 higher, heifer calves from 450 lbs to 
499 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, heifer calves 500 lbs to 549 lbs were 3.00 to 
5.00 lower, heifer calves from 550 lbs to 599 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher.  A 
big run of very attractive calves for todays sale with multiple consignments of 
full loads and multiple loads in the same sort.  Most of the calves were fully 
vaccinated and right off the cow, attractive for quality and condition.  An 
active market throughout the sale as internet buyers and those in attendance 
were anxious to obtain cattle.  Next sale is Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
