As filed

Last reported sale was three weeks ago a market comparison is not applicable. However, with sharp losses on the CME cattle boards since that time Monday's market displayed a sharply lower undertone. Demand was moderate, instances good for light weight calves with mostly light demand for feeder cattle. Many buyers seemed not to interested in procuring cattle at they appeared to be looking at cell phones more than looking at cattle coming through the sale. Sale comprised of longtime weaned calves and feeder cattle. Bulk of the sale comprised of packages with very few load lots in the run. Next week December 4, will be a special weaned calf and feeder sale expecting 1500 head.
