Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow sale with several consignments of young bred cows mostly 2-6 yrs in the 1st and 3rd stages all selling with good demand, and a consignment of young pairs 2-5 yrs with good quality calves by side also selling with good demand. Slaughter cows traded 4.00-6.00 higher on a very active market with several high dressing slaughter bulls trading higher than slaughter steers and heifers. Feeder cattle were very lightly tested.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
