As filed

Nice run of cattle today, partly due to not having a sale next week due to Thanksgiving. Compared to last week, 600 lb steers sold 10.00 higher. Feeder weight steers sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher, with 900 lb steers selling steady. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Producers are still bringing in the unweaned cattle, but it doesn't matter as long as they have shots. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
