As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves under 550 lbs traded steady. Steers calves over 550 lbs traded 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Heifer calves traded unevenly steady throughout the day. Nice offering of all classes of feeder cattle with an active market throughout the day. This was the last Feeder Special of 2020. Happy Holidays.
