The market report summary for the Valentine Livestock Auction based on the 
following highlights: Today's Special Bred cow and pair auction featured an 
initial run of weigh-ups followed by baby calves off the cow. Pairs consisted 
primarily of black and black white-face offerings, with a few reds and 
Herefords; these pairs were tagged to match and up to date on shots. Fall-bred 
cows spanned all age groups, calving from August to September, with the 
majority bred to Black Angus bulls. Notable sales included a solid-mouth Brown 
Swiss milk cow bred for August, which brought $4100. Many of today's consigned 
offerings were brought to town due to ongoing dry conditions.  Next Auction 
Date Thursday, July 23rd Special Feeder Sale expecting 2000 head
