As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The temperatures hit 70 today, for the first time this year. Daffodils are blooming and peepers are peeping, reminding everyone that Spring is just around the corner. The demand for bred cows and pairs has increased with the temperatures. The top price for bred cows was 1750.00/head and top price for pairs was 1975.00.
