As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers were steady to 5.00 higher while feeder heifers were unevenly steady. If you look beneath the muddy hides of the offerings today you would find an attractive moderately fleshed condition. The pace of the market was active today with the abundance of consignments. The demand on the commodities was very good for this sale. Next sale is Friday, November 22, 2019.
