*CLOSE*
Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded mostly steady with some 7 weight steers trading 5.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply with most weights not well tested. Supplies were considerably less than the previous two weeks due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. A bullish Cattle on Feed report had Inventories at 101%, Placements at 89% and Maketings slightly below a year ago. Gains on both Live and Feeder Cattle Futures as well as in Box Beef Cutouts has given some support for cash prices during one of the highest volume months of the year.
