As filed

A large crowd was on hand for this Special Bred Cow Sale at Joplin Regional Stockyards. The bulk of the offering consisted of bred cows mostly in the 2nd stage with a wide variety of type, kind, quality and condition throughout the sale. Volatility continues to plague the cattle industry but there was still a lot of optimism ringside with very active bidding and a lot of interest, particularly for several top quality consignments of bred heifers. Supply moderate, demand good.
