As filed

Today's special bred cow and weigh-up auction began with weigh-up cattle, followed by a offering of bred cows. The majority of the bred cows were broken mouth and short solid, all in good condition and ready to calve between February and March, with limited offerings for April and May. The next auction is scheduled for Thursday, November 12th, featuring a special spring calf sale with both weaned and non-weaned offerings.
