Compared to last week: best test on yearling steers 850 to 1000 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 8.00 higher, 1001 to 1100 lbs unevenly steady. Yearling heifers 800 to 850 lbs and 900 to 950 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves lightly tested last week in different weight classes, mostly steady undertones noted on calves. Moderate to good demand for mostly strings and loads which made up today's yearling offering with best demand seen for a string of attractive black steers off grass. Yearling quality varied today, from plain to attractive. Slightly less flesh on the yearlings this week with more off grass in light to moderate flesh. Moderate to good demand for many packages and a handful of loads that made up today's calf offering. The majority of the calves were off the cow in light to moderate flesh with some moderate plus at times. Preconditioning varied, and calves without all their shots sold at a discount. An active market for this large offering with order buyers and some farmer feeders in the seats today. Cold and dry weather for the past week has helped to dry things out and harvest has been progressing quickly. There is much more interest in procuring calves than a week ago. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, November 6.
