Compared to last week: yearlings of different weight classes so an accurate price trend can not be established, higher undertones noted on steers. Good to very good demand for yearling cattle again this week. Many loads and packages available, both off grass and out of yards, in mostly moderate to moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh. Best test on steer calves 450 to 500 lbs mostly steady, 501 to 600 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Best test on heifer calves 450 to 500 lbs mostly steady, 501 to 550 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for calves with full preconditioning, light demand seen for calves with only spring shots, especially just a 7 way shot and these calves were discounted at times. A light offering of calves today, mostly packages with just a couple loads. Roughly a third of the calves were weaned. Flesh varied, but mostly light to moderate. An active market for yearlings, mostly moderate for calves. Rain again today for the third Wednesday in a row. These cool and wet conditions are putting some pressure on the calf market as well as making harvest a nightmare. Many producers and farmer feeders are trying to tie up harvest before marketing calves or buying calves to feed. Lots are very muddy right now and slow to dry out. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, November 3.
