As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale; with Bred Cow Special today with slaughter cows steady instances 1.00-3.00 higher, slaughter bulls firm with individual bull bringing 12.00 higher, most cows returning to feed or returning to the country. Most offering was bred cows and heifers with good buyer participation and demand. Light offering of feeder calves with not enough for a good market test.
