Compared to last week: best test on steers 900 to 1000 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 lower, 1001 to 1100 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifers 800 to 900 lbs mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for many strings and loads which made up today's yearling offering. Most of the yearlings came off grass and flesh was mostly light to moderate with some moderate plus flesh at times. Yearling quality mostly average to attractive today. A couple loads and several packages of spring calves offered today met with light to moderate demand with best demand seen for a fully vaccinated steer calf. The calves were off the cow today and had varied preconditioning or none at all. A moderate to active market seen for today's offering. A winter storm is predicted for much of the state for the end of the week and the weekend. Snow and strong winds are possible. The threat of winter weather has many producers scrambling to bring cattle off grass and harvest what they can before the storm. The weather has put some pressure on the market, especially on the calf market. Soybean harvest has barely begun and many producers are still trying to harvest silage. The fields are very wet and yards and lots are muddy and in poor shape as well. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, October 16.
