As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers under 450 lbs that were weaned and value added sold mosltly 10.00 to 15.00 higher with some offerings of fancy steers as much as 30.00 higher. Steers over 450lbs were mostly 10.00 lower. Feeder heifers were mostly 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls both sold mostly steady. Demand was strong on weaned and lighter fleshed steers and heifers. Cattle that were unweaned and fleshy were heavily discounted by buyers with little interest in unweaned cattle with extreme temperature swings of October in full effect. Supply was good on most ranges with a heavy supply of replacement cows today.
