As filed

Nice run of fall calving cows, cow/calf pairs with a rather large run of slaughter cows on hand Thursday. Moderate size crowd of buyers from mostly Nebraska with a few buyers from out of state bid readily for pairs and bred cows. On the fall bred cows calving season ranged from 40 to 75 days. Some of the calves on the pairs had received spring shots and castrated with other being all natural on sale day. There were several slaughter cow and bull buyers on the seats with an active slaughter market on the day.
