Friday's sale was a Special Bred cow auction with one large consignment and several small consignments in the offering of mostly bred cows 3-6 yrs of age in the 3rd stage selling with good demand despite a major snow storm on Thursday as bred cows came in on Wednesday with a large crowd on hand. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm with last week's active market.
