Compared to last Tuesday sale, on a bred cow & pair special; slaughter cows on a light offering mostly steady with lower undertones noted with slaughter bulls 3.00-5.00 higher, feeder calves lighter run than lasts weeks special calf sale. Demand moderate to good with good interest in bred cows and pairs. Only one baby calf this week: 90 lbs bull calf $310.00.
