Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Replacement cow special with a nice supply of third period bred cows offered along with cow/calf pairs with many of the calves weighing in the 300 to 400 pound range. Demand was very good for the replacement stock with a good crowd on hand looking to take home cattle.
