As filed

Compared to last week all weights of steers were higher with 450 to 800 lb. steers 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded mixed with 450 to 500 lbs. 6.00 higher; 500 to 600 lb. were steady; 600 to 650 lbs. were 4.00 lower and 650 to 700 lbs. were steady compared to last week. Very good demand for todays offering. There is another warming trend in our area and buyers are making placements to take advantage of these good conditions. There is more weaned calves coming to market this week. Most calves were in light to moderate flesh condition. This will be the last feeder sale for the year. Next feeder sale will be January 6, 2021.
