Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Not enough comparable sales for a market trend. Trading activity and buyer demand were good. Several large load lots of feeders were on offer, along with a large consignment of fall calvers. Over the weekend, areas of the Panhandle finally received some much needed evening rain showers.
