Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; all classes of feeders and grass cattle sold sharply higher. Lot of long string reputation steers and heifers. Several loads of heifers were bang vaccinated to give the buyer the option to breed. A very active internet and bidding from the seats. A very active market from package trade to load lots. Sale again next Wednesday.
