Compared to last week Feeder Steers 450 to 700 40.00 to 55.00 lower, Feeder 
Heifers 450 to 650 20.00 to 35.00 lower, 950 to 1000 20.00 lower. Moderate to 
Good Demand in the Seats and Good Demand on the Internet for Several Strings, 
Many Load Lots, and Many Part Loads and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder 
Heifers which sold on a Moderate Market at first, transitioning into a bit more 
Active Market as the sale progressed and the Nearby Futures markets closed only 
slightly down as opposed to the free fall of the futures market over the last 
several days. The entire Offering came off grass and carried Light to Moderate 
Flesh. The presentation was attractive and the weigh-up mostly favorable with a 
few calves showing some mud and tagg from the moisture over the weekend. Nearly 
all the Spring Calves were fully vaccinated with both Spring and Fall 
vaccinations and came straight off the cow. In 16 years of Market Reporting I 
don't believe I have ever seen a market transition of this magnitude. Everyone 
from the buyers and sellers to the sale managers hopes this Futures Market will 
soon find some footing and moderate the swings. The Next Sale is October 29, a 
Weighup Cow and Bull Special; November 1 is the Annual Stock Cow and Bred 
Heifer Special; The next Feeder Cattle Sale is November 4, expecting 7,000 head.
