As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 13.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Plain to average quality, with moderate demand. Slaughter cows 6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady to 1.00 higher. Several nice young replacements sold. Demand was very good in the cow sale with new buyers coming in due to several other sales taking holiday week off. Happy Thanksgiving!
