Compared to last week:  best test on steers 550 to 649 lbs 25.00 to 30.00 lower 
on a narrow comparison.  Best test on heifers 500 to 549 lbs 16.00 lower.  
Moderate to good demand for calves today.  A totally different offering of 
calves than seen last week as far as quality.  Many plain quality calves in the 
offering today and also many colored hides, all selling in packages, making it 
a challenge to put a load of uniform calves together.  All calves off the cow 
and many had full preconditioning.  Flesh varied also, from light to moderate 
plus.  A moderate market with a few less buyers and farmer feeders in the seats 
than last week. Losses on both live and feeder cattle futures again today. This 
volatility over the last couple weeks has eroded all prior confidence buyers 
and feeders had coming into this fall marketing season leaving nothing but 
uncertainty in how to proceed going forward.  No feeder cattle next week due to 
Thanksgiving, a nice line up of bred cattle on Tuesday, November 25, along with 
the annual pie auction, next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, December 4.
