As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on a Bred cow and Pair Special; Slaughter cows unevenly steady, slaughter bulls instances 2.00-7.00 higher with cow returning to feed mostly steady. Good buyer attendance and participation on cow/calf pairs and bred heifers and cows. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Also had 21 breeding bulls.
