Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trend as this was the first calf special of the fall run, but a very active market this week with a very active internet and lots of bidders on the seats. Buyers still willing to pay a premium for pre conditioned calves. A few partial loads today but mainly package trade throughout the day. Sale again Monday with another Calf Special.
