Compared to last week: best test on steers 750 to 799 and 850 to 899 lbs mostly steady, 900 to 999 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 1000 to 1050 lbs mostly steady. Heifers not well compared again this week. Good to very good demand for yearlings this week. Yearlings sold mostly in loads and strings with all the cattle off grass. Overall quality more attractive this week, most cattle were average to attractive in quality. Moderate to good demand for unweaned spring calves today with best demand seen for reputation outfits, especially a few load lots. Mostly packages on calves with varied preconditioning, but most calves had at least one full round of shots. Quality ran from plain to attractive. An active market on yearlings and moderate to active on calves. More buyers in the seats than last week but most farmer feeders are still harvesting. Rain in the forecast for the next few days will slow harvest progress. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 18.
