As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers were steady to 3.00 higher while heifers were steady to 3.00 lower. Prices on the lower side of the average are reflective of the handful of consignments without preconditioned shots. Market activity was active today with most flesh conditions at moderate plus. There was a very good demand with offerings rapidly absorbed. The next feeder calf sale is Dec 6, 2019.
