Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared with last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. There was a good crowd on hand today for good strings and packages of mainly unweaned and preconditioned calves as well as some yearling type calves. Trade today was good with demand being moderate to good with some bidding from the internet. Crawford's next sale will be a feeder calf special November 8.
