As filed

Compared to last week: yearling steers not well compared, best test on yearling heifers 950 to 1000 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Good demand for today's yearling offering featuring several strings and loads. More flesh on the yearlings than last week as fewer came off grass, most yearlings in moderate to moderate plus flesh. Quality varied, but mostly average to attractive. No calves last week to compare to today's calf offering of many packages and a handful of loads which was met with moderate to good demand with best demand for full load lots. Most calves off the cow with the exception of one consignment, weaned three weeks. Most of the calves had some preconditioning, those without at least one full round of shots were discounted at times. Quality on calves varied, from plain to attractive. A moderate to active market seen for this offering. Snow melt is creating some muddy lot and travel conditions and the area has had some fog as well which has hindered travel. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, November 6.
