Reporter comment USDA

As filed

First reported sale in a month a market trend is not applicable. However, a sharply higher undertone was noted. Demand was good for the June Jamboree calf and feeder auction. Quite a few buyers along with a very active internet bid readily from start to finish. The next special Monday auction will be the annual customer appreciation sale in mid-August.
