Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Many small strings of feeder cattle resulted in too narrow of a comparison with calves entering the market and yearlings dissipating. The market was active today with a good demand of the unevenly dressed feeder cattle. Next sale is Oct 4, 2019.
