As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow/Heifer sale with a nice offering of mostly Red Angus cross bred heifers in the 3rd stage and young cows mostly 3-6 yrs in the 2nd and 3rd stage all selling with moderate to good demand. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in small packages and singles. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
