Compared to last week:  best test on steers 850 to 899 and 1100 to 1149 lbs 
steady to 3.00 higher, 950 to 999 lbs steady to 2.00 lower.  Heifers not well 
compared.  Another large offering of yearlings this week with cattle coming 
both out of yards and off grass.  Very good demand for grass cattle, good to 
very good demand for lot cattle depending on flesh condition.  Quality similar 
to last week with many attractive quality cattle to choose from and multiple 
loads available to fill pens.  Some tag on cattle this week due to muddy pen 
conditions.    A few consignments of calves offered today, all coming off the 
cow.  Calves were met with moderate to good demand depending mostly on shot 
records and hide color, there was quite a spread in price at times.  Many yards 
are not yet ready to take on calves and lots have become very muddy the last 
couple weeks.  Several loads of calves available even with this limited 
offering.  An active market on yearlings, moderate on calves.  Sunshine has 
finally returned after the last couple weeks of cloudy, rainy conditions.  Next 
feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 7.
