Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 4.00 lower, except under 600 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher, 1000 lbs steers sold with higher undertones, feeder heifers 1.00 to 5.00 lower, except under 550 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Demand for this smaller yet eye appealing offering of cattle was good. Lighter weight cattle were in high demand today, package size did not effect the demand for the light cattle. Black hided, load lots vs small packages and shot history were factors effecting cattle over 600 lbs today. Late October rains and warm up for a couple weeks have sparked hope for some producers to be able to have the ability to graze more cattle through the winter than was expected a couple months ago. These factors have helped support lightweight calf prices during fall weaning. The economic uncertainty could be what is keeping prices from escalating to much. Several nice loads of yearlings, hauled in overnight sold with lots of interest. CME Feeder Cattle closed higher while corn was slightly lower. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 1.00 to 3.00 lower.
