Compared to last week:  best test on steer calves 500 to 649 lbs mostly steady, 
yearling steers not well tested this week.  Best test on heifer calves 450 to 
499 lbs 8.00 to 12.00 lower, 550 to 599 lbs mostly steady, yearling heifers 
1000 to 1049 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 lower.  Good demand for yearling cattle today.  
Most of the yearling offering was heifers selling in load lots.  Flesh 
condition varied, from moderate to some heavy flesh, a few cattle were still 
coming off grass.  Moderate to good demand for calves today.  A couple of loads 
available but most of the calves sold in packages and off the cow except for 
one consignment of long time weaned calves.  Quality ranged from plain to 
attractive.  Most calves had at least one good round of fall shots and many had 
a full shot record.  A moderate to active market today with most of the normal 
buyers and a few farmer feeders in the seats.  A slightly negative day on the 
futures complex to finish out the week.  Buyers are still trying to navigate 
this market and decide what these bawling calves are worth making for a slower, 
more cautious sale pace.  No sale next week due to Thanksgiving, next feeder 
cattle sale is Friday, December 5.
