Special calf sale next Wednesday, November 13, 2024

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs were 10.00 higher, while steers over 900 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers under 700 lbs sold 5.00 higher, over 700 lbs, not enough for comparison. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Good demand for moderate supply.
