FEEDER CATTLE            2157           6042    3011      
  
  
A much lighter offering compared to last week with yearlings not well compared 
and best test on steers calves 550 to 599 lbs 20.00 to 25.00 lower on a narrow 
comparison.  Mostly good demand seen for yearlings today.  The bulk of 
yearlings sold in strings and loads and came out of yards.  A handful of 
packages off grass, mostly tested open heifers.  Quality varied quite a bit 
this week, from plain to attractive, and many carried quite a bit of flesh.  
Some tag seen at times as some areas received quite a bit of rain on Monday.  A 
light offering of calves with a few cancellations due to muddy road and yard 
conditions.  Moderate to good demand for calves, most of these selling in 
packages.  Calves were attractive in quality and had at least one round of 
shots.  A moderate to active market with the recent decline of the futures 
complex putting pressure on the market.  Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, 
November 11, expecting a much larger offering of calves.
