As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Pairs Sale with a nice offering of replacement cows selling with moderate to good demand. Mostly 4-6 yrs in 2nd-3rd stage and pairs 4-7 yrs with calves by side weighing 150-400 lbs. A very light offering of feeder cattle sold in small packages and singles, mostly unweaned/short weaned with moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
