The top selling pair of the evening was a 1400 lb. cow in the 2nd stage with a 400 lb. calf selling for 6100.00/pair. Another stick-out draft was 13 cows weighing 1249 lbs. in the 1st/2nd stage with 300+ lb. calves selling for 5800.00/pair. The top bred cows were a pkg. of 18 head weighing 1367 lbs. in the 2nd/3rd stage which sold for 4400.00/head.
