Compared to last week:  Steer calves 400-500 lbs 40.00 to 50.00 lower, 500-600 
lbs 20.00 to 40.00 lower, 600-650 lbs 10.00 lower, 650-700 lbs steady to 2.00 
lower.  Heifer calves 15.00 to 30.00 lower, except those under 400 lbs mostly 
steady.  Yearling feeder steers 10.00 to 15.00 lower, yearling feeder heifers 
not well compared to last week's limited offering of heifers.  A very large 
offering of very high quality, ranch-raised steer and heifer calves, carrying 
two rounds of vaccinations, coming right off the cow in a very light and highly 
desirable light flesh condition.  The weighing condition was attractive as 
well.  There were many long strings, including one consignment of 1,1100 head 
and many more that were offered in load lots throughout the entire day, along 
with plenty of part loads to put together.  A nice offering of yearlings coming 
right off grass started the day.  Demand is still good for calves of all 
weights and the market is very active, as there were ample buyers on the seats 
and plenty on-line, bidding and buying as well, but the market was under 
pressure from the losses in the futures complex earlier in the week.  Triple 
digit gains in Live and Feeder Cattle today, but buyers have their sights set 
lower as they try to buy cattle in line with a declining futures market.  Very 
good demand was seen for replacement quality heifers as there were so many 
heifers worthy of being made into cows.  Next feeder cattle sale will be Nov.
