Compared to last week Feeder Steers under 500 4.00 to 6.00 higher, 500 to 700 Steady to 2.00 higher, Feeder Heifers 450 to 550 Steady to 2.00 higher, 550 to 600 2.00 to 3.00 higher, 600 to 650 Steady, 650 to 850 Steady to 2.00 higher. Good Demand for several long strings, load lots, and many packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on an Active Market. The recent winter weather has taken a bit of the shine off some of these calves but much of the Supply still displayed a very attractive presentation, carrying light flesh and a favorable weigh-up. Nearly the entire Offering was Home Raised, straight off the cow, and had Spring and Fall vaccinations. The Next Feeder Cattle Special is November 29, Happy Thanksgiving!
