Compared to last week:  yearling steers not well compared.  Best test on 
yearling heifers 900 to 949 lbs 15.00 to 20.00 higher.  No good comparisons on 
spring calves.  Very good demand for yearlings today with those coming off 
grass seeing the best demand.  Several strings of grass cattle available, 
mostly in light to moderate flesh and attractive in quality.  A few 
consignments of lot cattle also, some in heavy flesh, but buyers are happy to 
own these cattle also, just with a price adjustment.  A few spring calves on 
offer today, these met with good to very good demand.  Mostly packages of 
calves with just a couple loads, flesh ranged from light to moderate plus.  
Buyers are very choosy on vaccinations and those calves without a solid shot 
record are discounted.  Quality varied on calves, from plain to attractive.  An 
active market with buyers and farmer feeders in the seats.  The recent advances 
of the futures complex have put quite a bit of enthusiasm back in the market 
and buyers are wanting to have cattle on hand to market in the future, which 
looks very bright.  Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, October 22.
