As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a short day, slaughter cows steady instance 4.00 higher,with slaughter bulls not as attractive as last week mostly steady instance 3.00-7.00 lower. Few feeder calves with no comparisons available. First week with cow calf pairs to test market good demand and several smaller packages bred heifers, few young cows and older cows. A baby calf weighing 155 lbs brought $1000.00. Over all demand good to moderate.
