Compared to the previously reported auction (Oct 22) both steers and heifers were not well compared but sold with a definite lower undertone. Available today were load lots of yearling heifers along with packages of new crop, double vaccinated feeder calves with many just off the cow. Demand was good for today's light supply. Active internet bidding. The next scheduled special feeder auction is Nov 12.
