No trend as this was the first bred cow sale in weeks; Nice offering with several complete and partial dispersials. Lots of long stings of bred heifers with a very active market on all classes.
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.
