Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Not enough calves on offer for a price comparison, yearling load lots steady. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher. A small crowd and a short run on offer this week, with most locals in the field in one capacity or another, and a much larger run expected in two weeks for the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale. Supply light, demand good.
