Note: SLMC will hold a special replacement cow and bull auction Saturday November 16th, 4:00pm

Compared to last week, Feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher on a moderate to good supply with good demand from buyers. Much needed rain fall in the area last week and continued warmer temps for November let the pastures green back up and left a positive outlook for fall grazing.
