As filed

Compared to last week steer and heifers calves sold mostly steady. Yearling feeder steers sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher and heifers 5.00 higher on a thin comparison to last week. Demand was moderate to good for calves with good to very good demand for yearling cattle. Most lots of yearlings sold with a tick of fill. However, the fill didn’t deter buyers from filling orders. Most calves had precondition shots. Active internet was noticed throughout the day. Next week Nov 10 will be a special calf and feeder auction.
