Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder cattle had a higher undertone with steers 10.00 - 15.00 higher with the exception of the low 600 weights that were only 2.00 higher, and heifers 3.00 - 6.00 higher with the exception of the high 300 weights that were 11.00 higher. There was a large amount of weaned offerings carrying a moderate flesh condition. The pace at which sales are being made is active. There was a very good demand for todays sale. Next sale is Dec 11, 2020.
