As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate on calves and good on yearlings. Feeders with 1-2 rounds of vaccinations and 30+ days weaned received the highest premiums today while calves without received notable discounts. Feeder steers under 750 lbs traded uneven, ranging from 3.00 lower to 4.00 higher, and steers weighing over 750 lbs were too lightly tested to trend. Feeder heifers 450-800 lbs traded 5.00 to 9.00 lower with no test on any other weight class. The next available report will be Friday, November 15, 2019.
