Compared to last week: Feeder steers 450-500 & 550-600 lbs 3.00 lower; 500-550 & 600-750 lbs 3.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers 450-600 lbs 2.00 - 3.00 higher; 600-700 lbs 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand was good to moderate on today's offering of feeder steers and heifers. Quality was mostly attractive with the feeders in light to moderate flesh. About one third of the offering today were weaned 40-60 days. Next sale is December 17, 2020.
