As filed

Friday's auction was a Bred Cow Special with one consignment of bred heifers to calf in February along with several young pairs with 150-350 lb calves all selling with moderate to good demand. Feeder cattle were very lightly tested with most selling in small packages and singles with most unweaned or short weaned. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady on the breaking cows with boners and lean cows trading mostly 2.00-4.00 lower.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
