As filed

Compared to last week, steers traded steady to 4.00 higher with the full advance on the loads of yearlings. Feeder heifers steady and slaughter cows steady. It was a good day to be indoors for a big Thanksgiving week cattle sale as rain made for a nasty day outside. The beef complex has started the week strong with two higher trading days for both the live and feeder cattle futures, and boxed beef prices have continued to march higher with the Choice up another 2.70 at 244.30 on Tuesdays close. Yearling prices have been mostly higher at auction barns in the midwest, and feedlots are hoping to get in on the action by selling fats for higher money by the end of the week.
