As filed

Compared to last week: This week's yearling steers and heifers were of different weights than last week, no comparisons able to be made. Steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Good to very good demand for yearling as the supply tightens, especially these green yearling off grass. There were several cancellations of calves this week as an early winter storm moved across the area making it difficult for ranchers to gather and ship calves to town. Calf demand continues light to moderate as not many cattle feeders are ready to receive a bawling calf, calves lacking their preconditioning shots are much harder to sell. Much larger offering expected next week as Wed Oct 16 will be a special calf sale and Fri Oct 18 a yearling and calf special.
