As filed

Friday's sale had a light offering of feeder cattle that were lightly tested. There was one consignment of good quality 4-5 year old young cows bred in the 2nd and 3rd stage that sold with good demand, along with several small packages of bred cows and a few pairs both 5-7 yrs selling with moderate to good demand. Slaughter steers and heifers on a light test sold firm to 2.00 higher with slaughter cows trading on and active market selling 5.00-8.00, spots 10.00 higher.
