As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 500 lbs. and up were steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers were steady to 3.00 higher. There were a few load lots in todays offering. Demand was fair. There will be no feeder cattle auction next week due to Thanksgiving, the next feeder cattle auction will be Dec. 5th, expecting 4000 head of cattle . " HAPPY THANKSGIVING" from Mitchell Livestock.
