Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This was Sheridan's first sale in three weeks so no trend will be given. There was a moderate crowd on hand today for some good strings and packages of yearling type cattle coming off of grass. Trade was light with good demand throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a Special yearling sale August 14.
