Compared to last sale: No trend is available as the last sale for this market was four weeks ago. Trade activity and demand were good. Today's run consisted of mostly weaned calves and yearling cattle with at least two rounds of vaccinations. Slaughter cattle were not reported due to reporter availability. The next available report will be as receipts warrant coverage.
