As filed

No recent market comparison. Supply was moderate with very good demand. A large crowd was on hand for this late summer replacement sale. The high selling lot of the auction at 5,800.00/pair was fancy young pairs with big calves selling as 3 in 1 packages. The high selling bull sold for 5,500.00/head. One of the features of the auction was a set of fancy third stage heifers selling for 5,050.00/head. The top selling bred cows sold for 4,350.00/head. The sale featured several herd dispersals. Bidding both in person and online was very active through out the auction.
