Compared to last week: Steers sold on an unevenly steady undertone market. Light heifers up to 900 lbs. sold on an unevenly steady undertone. Heifers 900-1000 lbs. sold 1.00-3.00 higher. A higher undertone was noted on heifers over 1000 lb. Demand was good. Many large load lots in today's offering. One large consignment of heavy heifers straight of grass drew top dollar. The next feeder cattle auction will be Nov. 21st. expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 10.00 am.
