As filed

No recent sale for a true price comparison, undertone higher. This was the first true calf run of the fall of the local barn with several strings of local reputation cattle, mostly unweaned but with the desired two rounds of shots. The offering also included a handful of yearling load lots. Supply moderate, demand good.
