Compared to last week:  Steer calves under 450 lbs 5.00 to 15.00 lower, 450-600 
lbs 25.00 to 35.00 lower, instances of 45.00 to 50.00 lower, over 600 lbs 15.00 
to 25.00 lower.  Heifer calves under 400 lbs 60.00 to 80.00 lower, over 400 lbs 
15.00 to 30.00 lower.  Another very large offering of high quality, spring born 
steer and heifer calves this week, but the market has been under extreme 
pressure across the nation due to the horrible losses seen in the cattle 
futures complex since last Friday.  Cattle buyers were much more reserved in 
their approach to buying cattle, as those losses in the futures contracts shook 
cattle feeders confidence in the market.  There is plenty of interest in buying 
these good calves, but buyers were determined to back them up as much as they 
could.  Most times bids rolled along in 1.00 to 2.50 increments, compared to 
the usual 5.00, but the competition was strong and bids went along way from 
their starting points.  The market got more active as the sale progressed and 
stayed that way til the end.  CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts closed 
pretty much unchanged, but Oct Live Cattle went off the board gaining 4.10, 
helping to support the cash fed cattle market this week that had yet to fully 
establish.  Next reported sale will be Nov. 6, 2025 expecting 4,500 feeder 
cattle.
