Compared to last Tuesday: No trends due to Thanksgiving week having low 
receipts.  However, the feeder market appeared sharply stronger in spots with a 
good supply and good demand for long weaned feeders and value added groups and 
packages.  Slaughter cows and bulls appeared stronger as well with a limited 
supply and good demand.
