Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were mostly steady to 7.00 higher; however, calves were mixed, with sales quoted from 4.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Long-time weaned, preconditioned calves with a complete vaccination program saw sharply higher undertones, as cattle feeders are concerned that the rain and cooler weather may bring unwelcomed health issues to calves of fleshy, unweaned conditions. Demand for the week was moderate to very good, with moderate to active trade. Last Friday at the Fort Pierre Livestock Auction in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, there was a huge run of calves and yearlings with over 9,000 head on offer. Nearly 10 loads of heifers weighing 853 pounds sold for a remarkable 157.75. On Thursday at the Valentine Livestock Auction in Valentine, Nebraska, a load of fancy 517 pound steers sold at 205.00. CME live and feeder cattle futures closed in positive territory on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday allowing both complexes to hold triple-digit gains for the week. Compared to last Friday, October live cattle futures closed up 1.93 at 111.03 and December was 116.93, up 1.68. October feeder cattle futures closed at 153.95, up 1.72 from last Friday, with November up 1.75 at 155.75...
