Reporter comment USDA

As filed

First reported sale in a few weeks a market trend is not applicable. However, a steady to lower undertone was noted. Demand was moderate to good for the light supply of native yearlings coming off short dry grass. Few, load lots on the day with the bulk of the sale selling in packages.
