Compared to last week: best test on yearling steers 900 to 949 lbs 8.00 to 10.00 higher, yearling heifers not well compared. Too light a calf offering last week to develop an accurate price trend, higher undertones noted on calves. Good to very good demand for both yearlings and calves today. A few yearlings still coming off grass in light flesh, yearlings out of lots in moderate plus to heavy flesh. A few more plain quality yearlings on offer as most producers are getting to the end of their supply. A nice offering of calves today, all off the cow. Quite a few loads and many packages to choose from with flesh condition ranging from light to moderate plus. Most calves had at least one round of shots and many were fully preconditioned. More attractive quality calves overall than seen last week. An active market and a much better attitude than seen last week as the futures complex had a positive week giving evryone a little bit of hope. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, November 20.
