Trade activity and demand was good. Boner slaughter cows of average dressing sold 2.00 higher. Lean cows of average dressing sold 1.00 higher and bulls were too light to test. The young heavy bred cows and the 5 and 6 year old second and third trimester cows sold noticeably higher. The next bred cow special sale will be Saturday February 8, 2025.
