Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 5.00 higher. Yearling steers traded 3.00-4.00 higher while yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Larger than expected receipts today as producers sold calves before they got busy with deer season and Thanksgiving. Cattle Futures traded mostly steady with Corn Futures lower.
