Reporter comment USDA

As filed

First reported sale in a month a trend is not applicable. However, a higher undertone was noted throughout the day. A nice run of weaned fall calves, yearling feeders and a few fall bred cows on offer for the annual barbeque auction. Very hot July day with heat index warnings did not deter buyers from back filling empty pens. Demand was good from in house and buyers on the internet.
