Compared to last week:  different weight classes of yearling steers than last 
week, lower undertones noted.  Yearling heifers not well compared.  Best on 
steer calves 450 to 549 lbs 30.00 to 39.00 lower.  Best test on heifers calves 
500 to 549 lbs 30.00 to 37.00 lower.  Good demand for yearling cattle.  One 
family had most of the yearlings including a string of spayed heifers and a 
string of steers, all still coming off grass.  Buyers were eager to buy these 
yearling cattle as supplies are getting quite tight, but they are not confidant 
enough to buy all loads of a cut as they would have earlier this fall, most 
times buying a couple loads at a time.  Moderate to good demand for calves 
today.  A good sized offering with many packages and quite a few load lots, all 
coming off the cow.  Most calves in light to moderate flesh and had at least 
one solid round of shots, usually given in the fall.  A moderate to active 
market today with both buyers and a few farmer feeders in the seats.  Even 
though the futures complex finally showed a positive day, there is still too 
much uncertainty in the market to get buyers and feeders back to the bullish 
state of buying they had exhibited most of the fall.  They are especially 
reserved on calves as no one is quite sure what they should be worth.  Much 
colder weather expected for this weekend with the possibility of snow.  Next 
feeder cattle sale is Friday, November
