Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Heifer sale, with a nice offering of top quality black bred heifers in the 3rd stage selling with good demand; with several consignments of good quality young bred cows in the 2nd-3rd stage selling with moderate demand and several young pairs selling with good demand. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in small packages and singles. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold steady to firm.
