As filed

No trend available. This is the first sale reported since this market transitioned out of their summer schedule. Trade activity and demand good. Bulk of offerings weaned 30+ days with 1-2 rounds of vaccinations. Today's run consisted of a good mix of yearlings and calves with the bulk of offerings from a handful of consigners. Several fancy black-hided steers pushed the premiums to the top of the market. The next available report will be as receipts warrant coverage.
