A nice entry of all types and qualities met another firm trade to a packed ring of buyers. Quality sorts with shape found a lot of competition with many equaling the previous markets high prices, causing some of the buyers to squirm with pain !!  Second quality cattle a little easier with some selling at more realistic rates.
