As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow sale with a very light test of feeders, most of the calves sold were unweaned or short weaned calves and sold in small packages or singles and sold with moderate demand. Replacement cows sold with moderate to good demand, best on the pairs. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower with the most decline on the boning and lean cows.
