As filed

Today's Special Bred Cow and heifer auction had a nice selection of complete dispersion and liquidations from area ranchers Demand was very good for these offerings. Heifers bred to LBW bulls, majority to calve in March. A full crowd today with several buyers in the seats and high internet activity. Next Auction Date Jan 28th

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
