*Special calf sale next Wednesday, October 30, 2024

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 750 lbs sold steady to 15.00 higher and over 750 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher, over 750 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Good demand for heavy supply.
