As filed

No trend for today's run as the last reported sale for this market was 3 weeks ago. Today's run comprised of pre-conditioned mostly weaned calves for 30-75 days with 2-3 rounds of shots. Trade activity and demand good especially on steers and heifers under 600 lbs. The next available report will be as receipts warrant coverage.
