As filed

Friday's Auction was a Special Bred Cow and pairs sale with a couple of consignments of young 3-5 year old pairs with 150-200 lb calves selling with good demand. A light offering of feeder cattle were mostly unweaned calves, with most good quality and selling with good demand. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-6.00 lower.
