Grant Daniel Long Report:

Buyer attendance was down this week with a couple export buyers not in attendance or not operating and some feed operators absent. The market for bullocks and heavy feeder cattle was mostly firm on last week for better lines. The market for lightweight yearling cattle continued to soften, especially for lower-grade cattle.
