As filed

Slaughter steers and dairy steers are mostly steady. Slaughter heifers were mostly steady based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to down 3.00. Slaughter bulls were trending lower based on a limited comparison. Lighter receipts were noted and increased buyer participation as many businesses and schools were closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $311.07, low $220.42, median $245.78 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
