Compared to last week: best test on yearling steers 850 to 1050 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Yearling heifers 700 to 750 lbs and 800 to 850 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Calves too lightly tested this week for comparison. Good demand for another large yearling offering this week. Still quite a few of the yearlings coming off grass this week, slightly more flesh overall than last week on yearlings. Quality varied more this week, from plain to attractive. Light to moderate demand for today's calf consignment. Calves average to attractive in quality and with slightly more flesh overall than last week. Most calves were off the cow, however there were a couple of consignments that had been weaned less than 7 days and these calves are discounted as this is a prime time for sickness. A moderate to active market seen for this offering. A large area of the mid west is under a winter storm warning which also put some pressure on the market today. Many producers are scrambling to get cattle off grass before the storm hits. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 28.
