Feeder classes steady to 3.00 lower. Fed cattle drifted steady to lower at 81.00-84.00. Cattle futures also were weak and offered little support. As holiday approaches, several auctions will be closed next week, producers need to check local sales if they wish to market livestock. Typically major holiday weeks are not the best time to sell as many buyers also take time off leaving little market support. From the market news staff, we wish all a safe and joyous Thanksgiving. As we have much to be thankful for.
