The rest of the replacement bred cows were mostly 5 yrs to short solid mouth in the 3rd stage selling with moderate to good demand, along with several pairs in the mix. feeder cattle were very lightly tested selling in small packages and singles. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to 1.00 lower with slaughter cows trading firm to 5.00 higher. The stick-out sales included the bred heifers in the 3rd stage AI bred at 3850.00-3935.00 per head, 2nd stage heifers 3400.00-3625.00 per head.
