As filed

Compared to two week's ago, steers from 500 to 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and heifers weighing the same sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was mostly good. Run comprised of all weaned calves with a few yearling feeders in the run. Mostly package trade on the day with only a handful of load lots. Most lots went to farmer/feeders with order buyers picking up some cattle. Most weigh up conditions were in the sellers favor as cattle consumed top quality hay in the yards after the first wintery blast of the season over the weekend. Next special wean vac sale will be December 15th.
