As filed

Friday's sale was a Special Bred Cow and Pairs sale with a nice offering of good quality young bred cows mostly 3-5 years in the 2nd stage selling with good demand. Consignment of 1st calf heifer pairs sold with good demand with the balance mostly cow pairs from 5 years to short solid mouth selling with moderate demand. A large offering of slaughter cows traded steady to 3.00 higher, spots 5.00 higher on the high dressing cows. Feeder cattle were very lightly tested on light offering of mostly unweaned/short weaned calves.

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.
