Compared to last week: best test on yearling steers 850 to 899 lbs and 950 to 999 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower, 900 to 949 lbs 6.00 to10.00 lower. Yearling heifers not well compared. Moderate to good demand for yearlings today. Mostly strings and loads off grass this week, some steers had been in the yard a couple weeks. Quality varied again this week, from plain to attractive. A lighter offering of calves this week with cancellations due to the winter weather the area received the last few days. An accurate price trend on calves could not be established. Moderate demand for calves with the weather playing a large part in this. As seen last week, there are price spreads caused by lack of shots and hide color at times. All calves were off the cow. Much of the region saw their first snow and cold temperatures are following for the next few days, taking on a bawling calf is a challenge most don't have the desire to take on. Futures ended on a positive note today. A moderate to active market for this offering. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, November 3.
