Demand was light to moderate on a light supply for this month's Special Cow Sale. The bulk of the offering consisted of running age cows in pretty thin condition. A few groups of young cows with big calves by side and already bred back were met with good demand and easily found new homes. Short hay piles and the high price of feed was certainly on the minds of most prospective buyers.
