No sale last week due to Thanksgiving, compared to two weeks ago:  steers 
calves 450 to 499 lbs and 550 to 649 lbs 10.00 to 18.00 higher, 500 to 549 lbs 
and 650 to 699 lbs mostly steady, yearling steers 1000 to 1049 lbs 10.00 
higher.  Heifer calves  450 to 549 lbs 20.00 to 25.00 higher, yearling heifers 
not well compared.  Good to very good demand for yearlings and calves.   One 
long string of steers and several loads from other consignors made up a nice 
yearling offering.  Flesh ran from moderate to heavy with quality mostly 
attractive.  Many packages and quite a few loads of calves today.  A couple 
weaned consignments but the majority of calves are still coming off the cow.  
Flesh on calves varied as some calves are getting fed a little better with 
their cows than others, cold weather has come and caused a little stress on 
these calves.    Most calves had at least one full round of shots in the fall.  
An active market with a better attitude than before the holidays as the board 
has had a few more positive days to give buyers and producers a little hope 
again.  Very cold windchills are expected for tonight and much of the area 
received quite a bit of snow over the holiday last week, winter is here.  
Special Weaned calf sale on Saturday, December 6, and regular feeder cattle 
sale on Wednesday, December 10.
