As filed

Compared to last week's Thanksgiving Special, steers and heifers traded unevenly steady, ranging form 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Mostly small groups of calves on offer this week, in a wide variety of quality and condition. Unweaned calves are still seeing some discounts depending on weight or size and quality. Supply and demand moderate.
