Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared with last week Harvest cows and bulls sold 2.00-4.00 lower with no other comparable offerings. There was a good crowd on hand today for bigger strings and packages of mainly weaned and preconditioned calves coming strait off the cow. Trade was good with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a feeder calf special October 23.
