Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Today's Special Bred Cow and heifer auction had a nice selection of complete dispersion and liquidations from area ranchers Demand was very good for these offerings. Heifers bred to LBW bulls, majority to calve in March. A full crowd today with several buyers in the seats and high internet activity. Next Auction Date Jan 28th
