Compared to last week:  yearling cattle not well compared.  Steer calves 450 to 
549 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 lower, 550 to 699 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 
8.00 higher except for 600 to 649 lbs not well compared.  Heifer calves 450 to 
499 lbs 10.00 to 12.00 lower and 550 to 599 lbs 10.00 to 12.00 higher on a 
narrow comparison with other weight classes of heifer calves not well compared. 
 Good to very good demand for yearlings with best demand seen for a string of 
spayed heifers still coming off grass in light flesh.  Flesh on yearlings 
coming out of yards moderate to heavy with buyers bidding accordingly.  Mostly 
good demand for calves with load lots seeing the best demand.  Most calves off 
the cow and most had at least a full round of shots in the fall.  Flesh varied, 
from light to some heavy flesh at times.  Quality similar to last week with 
many attractive calves to choose from.  An active market on yearlings, moderate 
to active on calves.  There has been too much instability in the futures 
complex again this week and buyers remain cautious when procuring calves.  No 
feeder cattle next week due to Thanksgiving, next regular feeder cattle sale 
will be Wednesday, December 3, and special weaned calf sale Saturday, December 
6.
