No trend this week as this was the first Bred Cow Special of the fall run. Small package trade on hand today with moderate demand with most of the bidding coming from the seats. Next Bred Cow Special will be in two weeks.
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.
