As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. The offering included a one hundred head commercial cow operation and a dairy herd sellout, with most of the dairy cattle selling as weigh up cattle. With Spring quickly approaching there was a large crowd ringside, creating good demand for bred cows and pairs.
