As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady except for some of the fancier calves weighing up to 625 lbs trading with spots 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Supply was heavy with the quality a little more uneven than last week. Closing in on years end, there's little new information to move the market, but overall the mood is optimistic with fed cattle trading at or near $1.40 and the drought conditions to the West have the nations herd numbers declining. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.
