As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on last sale before Thanksgiving selling all classes of cows and bulls along with feeder calves and yearlings. On a light offering with no comparisons available for cows and bulls, most pressure on thin fleshed animals. Feeder calves steady to lower undertones on a limited test due to up and coming holiday. Demand moderate.
