Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared with last week harvest cows and bulls sold unevenly steady with not enough comparisons on the calves. There was a moderate crowd on hand today for packages of preconditioned calves coming strait off of the cow. Trade today was light with demand being moderate throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a bred cow and heifer sale December 4.
