As filed

Not enough comparable receipts this week for a market comparison. Receipts sharply reduced Wednesday do to rain and muddy road conditions in the trade area. The damp weather brought a rather large crowd of buyers to the seats. Active internet buying was also noted throughout the sale. Next week Nov 3 will be a calf and feeder auction.
