As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and pairs sale with bred cows mostly 4 yrs to short solid mouth in the 2nd stage selling with moderate to good demand. Small consignment of heifer pairs with 350-400 lb calves bred back in the 2nd stage sold with good demand. Feeder cattle were mostly unweaned coming off the cows sold that morning with the majority bulls many good quality selling with good demand. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 lower with a nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers trading steady to 2.00 higher.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $466.70, low $362.44, median $438.97 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
