Compared to the previous week, the feeder steers and heifers were trading $2 to $4 higher with most advances being seen on heavier weights that can go against the CME April contract that has a $3 to $5 positive basis than other surrounding contract months. The demand was good. The quality was plain to average with a few attractive. The steer and heifer calves were selling $2 to $6 higher. The demand was good to very good as wheat pastures continue to be in good grazing conditions. The OKC West Livestock Market will be closed from Nov. 23 to 25 due to Thanksgiving holiday.
