Compared to last week: best test on yearling steers 850 to 900 lbs steady to 3.00 lower and 950 to 1000 lbs mostly steady. Yearling heifers not well compared. Best test on steer calves 500 to 600 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifer calves 550 to 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for both yearlings and calves today. A string and several loads and packages made up today's yearling offering. Quality less attractive than last week with many plain to average quality yearlings in light to moderate plus flesh. Mostly packages and just a few loads made up the calf offering. Quality varied, but mostly average to attractive and in light to moderate flesh. Varied preconditioning again today and calves without all their shots were discounted at times. Moderate to active market activity with mostly order buyers in the seats today, farmers are still focused on harvest. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, November 8.
