The cow dispersion offered an outstanding array of cow/calf pairs, many of which were 2-6 years old.  The condition and outstanding disposition of the cows along with the quality of the calves made them very popular with the buyer.

Pairs - Heifers averaged $1960 with a $2050 top
3-4 year olds averaged $2120 with a $2350 top
5-6 year olds averaged $1820 with  $2200 top

older cows averaged $1275

The few bred cows were all over the board in size, quality, and preg status and there were
not enough of a kind to determine a market.
