As filed

Compared to last Friday's Special Thanksgiving Calf Sale, steers sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower and heifers steady to 2.00 lower. Pretty good quality on offer this week, mostly small groups, with most weights of cattle just not quite hitting the top prices from last week. Supply light to moderate and demand moderate.
