Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady to 5.00 lower and heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, spots up to 10.00 higher, heavier weights steady to weak. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Mostly unweaned or short weaned calves on offer this week, with one pot load lot of backgrounded heifers and a couple other sizeable consignments ahead of the two Thanksgiving Special Sales in two weeks.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.92, low $402.06, median $471.21 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
