Compared to last week steer calves less than 700 lbs and yearling 9 weight 
traded 20.00 lower. Heifer calves sold 25.00 to 30.00 lower with 8 weight 
yearling heifers sold steady with all other weight trading 6.00 to 15.00 lower. 
Demand was light to good on calves and yearlings with good demand for bred 
cows.  Another tough week in the bawling calf market as buyers looked to the 
CME cattle boards for there decision making and it said to purchase cattle at a 
lower price. Also, some backgrounders are having sick calves to deal with along 
with muddy pens that should be drying up. These things happen every year, but 
demand went very quite this week with several auction markets only having a 
handful of buyers on the seats and quite bidding from the internet.   Feedlot 
sales took another kick in the pants on live and dressed sales. Some finished 
weight steers and heifers would be bleeding red on closeouts. Live sales sold 
from 214.00 to 218.00 and dressed sales sold from 330.00 to 340.00.  Fall 
harvest continues with some soybean left to harvest and quite a lot of corn to 
go to the feedlot or bins. Recent rains have really delayed harvest across the 
state and few reports of quite a lot of corn off the stalks in fields that are 
now getting picked.  Some hay producers are taking one more cutting of alfalfa 
this year as fall rains produced some decent tonnage for the fourth or fifth 
cutting.
