Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers under 700 lbs traded steady to 5.00 higher, with weights over 700 lbs mostly 5.00-8.00 higher where comparisons could be made. Feeder heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 lower. Thanksgiving week special that featured many top quality reputation strings of both calves and yearlings, with the highlight of the day a load of 851 lb yearling steers that sold for 170.60 coming from one of the best backgrounders in the area. Some higher feedlot sales reported again on Tuesday at 136.00 have sparked some optimism at the auction barn that calf and yearling prices my finally turn some profit on the producer end. Demand was good to very good with the supply moderate.
