No trend this week as it was the first bred cow sale of the fall. Nice run of bred cows with some complete dispersals of all ages of cows. Moderate bidding though out the sale.
Nothing removed and nothing rounded — the same lots as the USDA report, with per-head values added. Grouped by class and set lightest first; USDA files them in sale-ring order.
