Compared to last week feeder steers 450 to 600lbs. were 2.00 to 4.00 lower and 600 to 650 lbs. were 5.00 higher. 650 to 700 lbs. were 12 lower this week. Feeder heifers 450 to 500 lbs. and 550 to 600 lbs. were steady. 500 to 550 heifers were 11.00 higher this week. More calves again this week with shots and a few bunches weaned for a month or longer. Most calves are in light to moderate flesh condition. Buyer demand was moderate to good this week due the drop last week and a feeling of uncertainty on pushing the markets. The next feeder sale will be Saturday November 25th. There is a bred heifer and cow sale next Wednesday so no feeder sale that day.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
