Compared to last week feeder steers 500 to 550 lbs. were 9.00 higher; 550 to 600 lbs. were 3.00 higher; 600 to 650 lbs. were 5.00 higher and 700 to 750 lbs. were 13.00 higher. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were 8.00 higher. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Buyer demand very good for today's offering. Several load lots of steers and heifers as well as many nice strings of calves in today's offering. Most calves came to market in light to moderate flesh condition. More calves coming in weaned and two rounds of shots than in previous sales. Next feeder sale will be Wednesday December 4.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $505.84, low $395.00, median $443.87 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
