As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Heifer sale with a nice consignment of near 50 head of good quality bred heifers selling with good demand in the 3rd stage selling from 3000.00-3235.00. Also in the offering were several packages of bred cows mostly 5 yrs to short solid mouth in the 3rd stage. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in

small packages and singles. Large offering of slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.62, low $343.18, median $399.14 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
