Compared to last week Feeder Steers 450 to 500 Steady, 550 to 650 10.00 to 12.00 higher, 650 to 700 Steady, 700 to 750 3.00 higher, Feeder Heifers 400 to 450 Steady, 450 to 500 8.00 higher, 500 to 550 3.00 higher, 550 to 600 Steady, 600 to 650 4.00 lower. Very Good Demand for Several Load Lots and many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on an Active Market. The Supply consisted of both Weaned and Un-weaned Spring born Calves, most of which had Spring and Fall Vaccinations, and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. There was certainly some fill as noted on some of the Offerings but overall were clean, attractive, open haired cattle. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is December 19.
