As filed

Today's sale was comprised of an attractive offering of black/black white face steers and heifers. Demand was very good with active buyer participation both online and in-person. With harvest in full swing for many, consignors still took the time out of the fields to take part in this strong market and have cattle here today. Next sale is scheduled for November 7, 2025.
