Compared to Friday last week: Feeder steers were steady with the exception of the high 400 weights that were 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to 4.00 higher today. The wide spread price ranges reflected are, in part, due to the lessened demand for cattle that do not have the precondition shots. The price spreads were also due to the lack of truck loads sold today. Many smaller strings were offered of moderate flesh condition. Market activity was at a good pace today. Next sale is Nov. 15, 2019.
