As filed

Compared to the previous feeder auction from two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves mostly 25.00-50.00 higher and yearlings 10.00-20.00 higher. A really nice recovery in the cash feeder market over the past couple of weeks as the fed cattle market has been moving higher, and cattle futures prices have bounced up significantly following their steep decline through the month of November. Demand was good and supply light to moderate.
