Compared to last week:  Much larger offering of feeder steers and heifers, 
steers not well compared to last week's limited offerings, heifers unevenly 
steady.  Light to moderate demand for spring born calves as farmer feeders are 
busy with fall harvest, overall quality was uneven but a good quality, green 
calf with two rounds of shots still was pretty easy to sell.  Good demand for 
this large offering of yearlings, many offered in full loads and multiple load 
lots with one consignment of 700 steers with 7 loads in the main cut.  Flesh 
condition of yearlings was uneven as there were some light fleshed cattle right 
off grass, but there were many more carrying a moderate to even a heavy amount. 
 With the down pressure in the Live Cattle contracts recently and the fat 
market lower, cattle feeders aren't as gung ho on chasing the feeder cattle 
market as they have been.
