Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate. Market too thinly tested to trend. Today's run comprised of several small packages of steers and heifers with a few large consignments. This market is transitioning to it's summer schedule combining the calves with the Thursday sales. This report will be unavailable until the fall off 2022.
