Compared to last week: different weight classes of yearlings than last week, lower undertones noted on yearlings. Different weight classes of calves also, higher undertones noted on calves. A string of 1300 steers off grass was the feature consignment of yearling cattle today and these were met with very good demand. Mostly good demand for the balance of yearlings out of yards depending on flesh condition, some cattle carried quite a little flesh. Moderate to good demand for calves today. Many packages and just a handful of loads in the calf offering. Attractive calves with all their vaccinations were the easiest to sell, those plainer cattle or those without good shots were harder to find homes for. A moderate to active market with mostly order buyers in the seats today. The futures board had a very uncertain week and most months were again negative at the close of the day today. This volatility has led to more reservation at the auction, a major contrast to the enthusiasm seen late summer and earlier this fall. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, November 7.
