Compared to last week:  steers 950 to 999 lbs steady to 4.00 lower, 1000 to 
1099 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 higher.  Heifers not well compared.  Good demand for 
yearlings this week with best demand for those light fleshed yearlings off 
grass.  Quite a few strings and loads again this week including some of the 
same consignors as last week as they gather from different areas.  A few loads 
and packages of feedlot cattle, flesh ranged from moderate to heavy with some 
tag at times.  Many packages of tested open heifers coming off grass that 
buyers could put together and make loads.  Quite a bit of variation of quality 
again this week, from plain to attractive.  A single consignment of spring 
calves offered and met with moderate demand, most yards are not ready to take 
on calves yet.  An active market seen for this offering.  Producers are busy 
with harvest, both bean and silage harvest are going quickly.  Many fields are 
wet from rains two weeks ago making it harder to get around and get loads out.  
Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 8, the customer appreciation sale 
which will include both yearlings and spring calves.
