Friday's auction was Special Bred Cow and Pairs sale with a nice consignment of near 70 head of top quality young bred cows 3-5 yrs of age Western Origin mostly in the 2nd stage few in the 3rd stage sold with good demand from 3400.00-3700.00, also in the offering was a nice quality offering of 1st calf heifer pairs with 150-175 lb calves selling from 4250.00-4600.00 per pair. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in small packages and singles but the better quality calves sold with good demand and within last week's price ranges. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold 3.00-5.00 higher.
