Compared to last week, on comparable offerings of steers sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher and heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. The annual Thanksgiving weekend sale brought a large crowd of buyers to the seats along with active bidding from home buyers on the internet. Demand was good on a fast paced sale from start to finish. Offering comprised of yearlings, weaned and bawling spring calves. Several load lots of both yearlings and calves throughout the sale. Bulk of the cattle stayed in the Cornhusker state but several loads went to the Sunflower and Hawkeye states for winter grazing and feeding. Special calf and feeder sale on Saturday Dec 4 and a Special bred cow and heifer sale on Tuesday Dec 7.
