As filed

No comparison to last week as the market was closed in light of the Thanksgiving holiday, however, compared to two weeks ago, feeder classes were mostly 3.00-8.00 higher with very good demand. Slaughter cows were mostly 5.00-7.00 higher than the previous sale, and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.
