Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week, due to no feeder sale. Bulk of the run comprised of bawling calves right off the cow the day of the sale. Most of the calves had fall precondition shots with others only having spring time shots. Most calves with spring time shots sold at a discount (lower) when compared to fall preconditions calves.
