As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers, in the comparable weights, were 1.00 - 4.00 higher with the exception of the 450 - 500 weights that were 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers were 5.00 - 10.00 higher. Nice weather this week has assisted in healthy, attractive flesh conditions. The market was active with most consignments carrying all their shots. There was a very good demand, especially nearing the end, as buyers compete to fill their loads. Next sale is Friday Nov. 6, 2020.
