There was a small increase in the overall numbers the sale on November 7. All categories were well represented, however there was a large supply of yearlings. The quality of the offering was very good and condition mostly forward to well-finished. Heavy cattle were in large numbers in both the young cattle and export sections. Demand for yearling steers was strong throughout resulting in firm to dearer market trends. The light weight yearling steers to restockers were firm to slightly dearer. A high quality penning of heavy yearling feeder steers averaged higher on an otherwise firm market trend.
