Compared to last week: Feeder steers 400-550 lbs. sold unevenly steady, steers 551 lbs and up sold 2.00-3.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower. A few load lots in todays offering. Demand was good. Snow and icy roads were a problem yesterday and today. The next feeder cattle auction will be Nov. 14th, expecting 2500-3000 head of cattle.
