Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the previous sale, comparable receipts were too limited for an accurate test, however, all classes of cattle were in mostly good demand. Buyer participation was very good although sale attendance was somewhat light due to favorable harvest weather which gave many farmers an opportune time to work towards harvest completion. The next sale will be on Thursday, December 2 and will be the final fall sale of the year.
