As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow/Pairs sale with several consignments of good quality bred cows 3-6 yrs of age in the second stage selling with good demand, also several packages of pairs mostly 5 yrs to short solid mouth with 150-300 lb calves. Feeder calves were mostly unweaned selling in small groups and singles and not well tested. There was a large offering of slaughter cows were mostly boning and breaking cows selling 3.00-5.00 lower with several premium white cows and lean cows trading steady. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to 1.50 lower.

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.
