As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate. The bulk of the calf run today was coming straight off the cow with 1-3 rounds of shots. Weaned calves were 21 to 100 days weaned. No trend on the feeder cattle as the last sale reported was two weeks ago. The next available report will be as receipts warrant coverage.
