No feeder cattle last week due to Thanksgiving, compared to two weeks ago: steers 450 to 499 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher, 500 to 599 lbs mostly steady. Heifers 450 to 549 lbs mostly steady, 550 to 599 lbs 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's calf offering with light fleshed, black hided calves selling in loads seeing the best demand. One consignment of weaned calves, weaned 60 days, with the rest of the offering coming off the cow, most with full preconditioning. Flesh varied a bit, but mostly light to moderate with some moderate plus. Colored cattle continue to see discounts at times, causing wider price spreads. An active market despite a day of losses on both live and feeder cattle futures. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, December 7.
