Reporter comment USDA

This was Sheridan's postpone sale from Wednesday due to the "Bomb Cyclone" that swept through the trade area on Wednesday and Thursday. Demand was moderate to good with an average crowd of buyers in attendance. Bulk of the receipts were in the yards a couple days before the storm hit.
