Reporter comment USDA

As filed

A limited number of offerings for today, a trend will not be given for steers or heifers. Demand was moderate to good with several buyers and an active internet. Cooler weather with light freeze in some areas. Cow and Heifer pairs consisted mostly of Black Angus and Red Angus pairs with calves at side weighing 85 to 150 lbs.
