As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Pretty typical October calf run this week, with the weaned and worked cattle finding more outlets than those coming right off the cow or without a full health program. There were a few exceptions to the unweaned rule this week with some consignments coming right out of the pasture whose reputation seemed to mitigate the risk factors. Cattle futures were still mostly lackluster Tuesday yet greatly improved from Monday's meltdown; still, any kind of volatility is bound to make market participants a little skittish. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
