Compared to last week:  best test on yearling steers 900 to 949 lbs 4.00 lower, 
other weight classes of yearling steers and heifers not well compared.  Few 
good comparisons on calves, lower undertones noted on both steer and heifer 
calves.  Moderate to good demand for yearling cattle, light to moderate for 
calves.  A large offering of yearlings today with the majority still coming off 
grass, including a string of 1200 very green steers.    Most yearlings sold in  
strings and loads and quality varied, from plain to attractive.  A lighter 
offering of calves than last week, all coming off the cow.  Varied 
preconditioning, but most had at least one good round of shots.  Flesh ranged 
from light to moderate plus with a little heavy flesh at times.  A moderate to 
active market on yearlings, moderate on calves.  There is a huge amount of 
uncertainty in the industry right now fueled by the recent decline of the 
futures complex.  A few less farmer feeders in the seats this week as they are 
determined to finish harvesting.  Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, November 
13.
