As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, steer calves under 500 lbs steady to 5.00 higher with 500-700 lb steers 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 4.00-8.00 higher. Mostly calves in the offering except for several loads of yearling heifers that were sold by a couple of the reputation backgrounders in the area. The feeder cattle market is picking up steam as we head into the last couple of marketing weeks of the year, thanks to aggressive packer buying that saw prices for fats leaving the feedlots last week hit the 140.00 mark. Demand was good and supply moderate.
