Compared to last week feeder steers 500 to 550 lbs. were 12.00 lower ; 550 to 600 lbs. were 6.00 lower and 600 to 700 lbs. were steady from last week. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were steady; 550 to 600 lbs. were 2.00 higher and 600 to 650 lbs. were 1.00 lower. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Moderate demand for todays offering. Buyers did not seem to be pushing the market as they did last week. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. There will be two feeder sales a week during the month of November as in past years. The sales will be on wednesdays and saturdays. Wednesday November 24th is special bred cow sale and no feeder sale will be held that day.
