As filed

First reported sale in about a month a market comparison is not applicable. Demand was light to moderate. Offering comprised of bawling and short weaned calves (less than 45 days) with some back-grounded yearling feeders in the run. Most of the calves had received some sort of vaccination. Light crowd of buyers on the seat as most of the farmer/feeders in the area are busy getting fall crops out of the field. Internet buying was active.
