Compared to last week: best test on yearling steers 850 to 899 lbs mostly steady, 950 to 1049 lbs steady to 5.00 lower. Heifers not well compared this week. Good to very good demand for yearlings with best demand seen for those coming off grass. Flesh on yard cattle varied with some heavy flesh at times. Many attractive cattle to choose from, quite a few opportunities to fill pens with same owner cattle. A light offering of calves today which were met with moderate demand. One weaned consignment, weaned 21 days, the rest of the calves were off the cow. Most of the calves had a good shot record. An active market on yearlings, moderate on calves with a few farmer feeders interested in these, however, most yards are not ready for calves and many are busy harvesting. Bean harvest is progressing quickly, weather has been very good for combining. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 14, the Customer Appreciation Special.
