Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This the first reported feeder sale of the fall so no comparisons will be made. Todays offering consisted of mostly yearling steers and heifers with very few calves. There were plenty of buyers at ringside and demand was good for the offering today. Most yearlings were in light to moderate flesh condition and most were coming off the pasture.
