Special bred cow and heifer sale.

Bred cattle had no comparisons to trend, though a firm undertone was noted. Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Today's run was a bred heifer and cow special, with a majority of the cattle being bred six to eight months. Slaughter cattle had no comparisons. The next available report will be February 02, 2022.
