As filed

Compared to last week: No comparison is available as the sale last week was not reported due to light receipts. Lighter weight steers sold with firm undertones, while heavier yearling type steers sold steady with those last reported two weeks ago. Feeder heifers sold with lighter undertones across all weight ranges when directly compared to the last reported sale. Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. The next available report will be Friday, November 12, 2021.
