Different weight classes of yearlings and too light of an offering of calves to 
compare to last week and develop an accurate price trend, lower undertones 
noted on both calves and yearlings.  Mostly good demand for yearling cattle 
today with those still coming off grass seeing the best demand.  Several loads 
and quite a few packages, mostly tested open heifers, made up the grass cattle. 
 A handful of loads of feedlot cattle in the offering, these carried quite a 
bit of flesh and sold accordingly.  A light calf offering made up entirely of 
packages.  One consignment of weaned calves, weaned 50 days, with the rest of 
the calves off the cow.  Quality on calves less attractive overall than last 
week with shot records all over the map, from no shots to full preconditioning. 
 Market activity moderate to active on yearlings, mostly moderate on calves.  
Another day of large losses on the feeders complex, this has along with recent 
political activity has taken all the excitement out of the cattle industry.  
Buyers exhibit much more caution as now the future looks very uncertain.  Corn 
harvest is progressing rapidly.  Nest feeder cattle sale is Friday, October 31.
