As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Pairs sale with several consignments of mostly 4-6 year old pairs with 200-250 lb calves all selling with good demand, with several offerings of young bred cows in the 1st and 2nd stage mostly 3-6 yrs of age along with a few heifer pairs that sold with good demand. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling mostly in small packages and singles but a few of the better quality sold with a steady to firm undertone. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm on a nice offering.
