As filed

There was a full house tonight for this special cow sale at JRS. Sale highlights included right around 1000 head of bred heifers from many reputable consigners, as well as many young cows bred for their second calf. Pairs were not abundant in numbers tonight, but a few high quality sets drew in many bidders and buyers. Demand was very good for all classes in the offering on a heavy supply.
