As filed

Compared to the Thanksgiving Special two weeks ago, top quality steers and heifers sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher, spots sharply higher, with less attractive or unweaned cattle trading steady. The local cash feeder market came roaring back Wednesday even as cattle futures continue their roller coaster ride, with all nearby Live and Feeder Cattle contracts losing anywhere from 4.82 to 5.72 by the close. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
