Compared to last week:  yearlings not well compared.  Best test on steer calves 
500 to 649 lbs 8.00 to 10.00 higher, 650 to 699 lbs mostly steady.  Best test 
on heifers 500 to 599 lbs steady to 3.00 higher.  Good to very good demand for 
yearlings today.  Still a few yearlings coming off grass, including today's 
feature string of 500 steers. The market is very active on these light to 
moderate fleshed cattle as supplies are almost at an end.  Dry lot yearlings 
also see good demand as many would rather feed these than a bawling calf.  Good 
demand for calves today.  Most coming off the cow but a few weaned packages, 
weaned from 14 days and over.  Varied flesh condition on calves, but mostly 
light to moderate plus.  A few more creep fed calves this week.  Many 
attractive calves to choose from, both in loads and packages to be put 
together.  An active market with more optimism than seen last week even though 
the futures complex had a negative day.  Weather remains very nice for this 
time of year, really nice conditions for cattle with quite a few cows still out 
on grass or grazing stalks.  Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, November 19. 
 This will be the last feeder cattle sale before Thanksgiving.
