Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 400-450 lbs 8.00 lower; 450-500 & 600-750 lbs 3.00- 4.00 lower; 500-600 lbs 1.00 -2.00 higher. Feeder heifers 400-600 lbs 2.00- 4.00 lower; 600-650 lbs steady; 650-750 lbs higher undertone. Good demand seen for today' offering. Quality was mostly attractive with a few drafts of weaned calves, but mostly calves off the cow in light to moderate flesh. Most of the calves had full preconditioning shots. Next sale is scheduled for December 12, 2019 .
