Compared to last week:  different weight classes of yearlings than last week, 
lower undertones noted on yearlings.  Different weight classes of calves also, 
higher undertones noted on calves.  A string of 1300 steers off grass was the 
feature consignment of yearling cattle today and these were met with very good 
demand.  Mostly good demand for the balance of yearlings out of yards depending 
on flesh condition, some cattle carried quite a little flesh.  Moderate to good 
demand for calves today.  Many packages and just a handful of loads in the calf 
offering.  Attractive calves with all their vaccinations were the easiest to 
sell, those plainer cattle or those without good shots were harder to find 
homes for.  A moderate to active market with mostly order buyers in the seats 
today.  The futures board had a very uncertain week and most months were again 
negative at the close of the day today.  This volatility has led to more 
reservation at the auction, a major contrast to the enthusiasm seen late summer 
and earlier this fall.  Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, November 7.
