Friday's auction had a very light offering of feeder cattle selling in small packages and singles and were not well tested. Several packages and small groups of Replacement cows with several small consignments of pairs mostly 4 yrs to short solid mouth with 250-350 lb calves sold with good demand, along with several groups of bred cows mostly 5 yrs to short solid mouth mostly in the 3rd stage. A good offering of slaughter steers and heifers sold 2.00-4.00 higher and a nice offering of slaughter cows traded firm to 4.00 higher.
