As filed

No comparable offerings from last week, a trend will not be given for steers or heifers. Cattle today consisted of load lots of yearlings steers and heifers spayed and preg checked open. Demand was good with a large crowd on hand for the Special Day after Thanksgiving Calf and Yearling Auction, despite the snow that fell all day long. Cattle came in the ring wet and snow covered. Next auction Date Dec. 1st Special Bred Cow & Heifer Sale
