As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 400 pounds were 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Feeder steers over 400 pounds were steady. Feeder heifers this week were 5.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady this week. We had a smaller run this week but solid set. We appreciate all the men and women who served this county to give us the freedoms we are able to enjoy on a daily basis on this Veteran's Day holiday.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $327.18, median $405.60 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
