As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Pairs sale with a nice offering of good quality heifer pairs selling with good demand. Feeder cattle were very lightly tested selling in small packages and singles with no comparison. A good offering of slaughter cows sold 4.00-7.00 higher.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
