As filed

A full house with very few empty seats at the barn for this special replacement sale. The supply was moderate to heavy with the highlight being a single consignment of 400 head of high quality black hided heifers. Demand was good to very good with active bidding from start to finish on nearly every draft of replacements that came in the ring.
