Cow special this week with only some small packages of calves and yearlings, and nothing to compare with last weeks feeder special. Several consignments of bred cows and a few lots of cow/calf pairs offered as well met with good demand. The top end replacement cows consisting of packages of either second or third period cows sold from 1400.00 to 1925.00 per head. Slaughter cattle and cows steady. Cattle futures traded sharply higher on Friday and continue to signal much higher prices for cattle this fall.
