Compared to last week, steer and heifers sold uneven again this week; from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Most of the lower trending markets occurred early in the week prior to the surge in the CME Cattle Complex. Tuesday saw an upswing in the complex and so rolled the local auction markets. For the week, CME Live Cattle contracts were around 4.00 higher with the October closing Friday at 115.37; December - 120.80; February - 125.75; April - 125.02. The Feb and Apr contracts made new contract highs this week. CME Feeder Cattle were also higher for the week as November closed at 156.47 and January at 155.70. Demand was moderate at best for spring calves and moderate to good for yearling cattle as they are getting harder and harder to come by this time of year. The long weaned calves are in much more demand than the unweaned fleshy bawlers that will become more prevalent as the calendar moves towards Thanksgiving. However the health on short weaned calves will get an extra boost as an Alberta Clipper is hitting the Northern Plains and Midwest late this week will hopefully get rid of some of those nasty flu bugs that typically happen with the large temperature swings that happen in late...
