No Sale last week due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, comparisons made to two weeks ago. Feeder Steers under 400 Steady, 400 to 450 8.00 higher, 450 to 600 10.00 to 12.00 higher, 600 to 650 8.00 to 10.00 higher, 650 to 700 5.00 higher, Feeder Heifers 400 to 450 4.00 to 6.00 higher, 450 to 550 6.00 to 8.00 higher, 550 to 650 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Very good Demand for Many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market. Much of the Offering had both Spring and Fall Vaccinations and carried light to moderate flesh. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is December 10, Weaned Calf Special, expecting 2,000 head.
