No feeder cattle last week due to Thanksgiving, compared to two weeks ago: best test on yearling steers 900 to 999 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher, 1000 to 1049 lbs mostly steady. A lighter test on calves this week with best test on steers 500 to 549 lbs 5.00 to 8.00 higher and 600 to 649 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 6.00 higher. Best test on heifer calves 500 to 549 lbs mostly steady. Good demand for yearlings today. Several strings and a handful of packages made up the yearling offering. More attractive quality and cleaner hides than two weeks ago. Moderate demand for calves, most selling in packages. Quite a few colored hides and calves without all their shots, this continues to cause larger price spreads. All calves came off the cow, flesh was mostly light to moderate. A moderate to active market seen for this offering. Another day of losses on the board with feeder cattle losing over 5.00. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, December 8.
