As filed

There was a full house tonight for the SLMC's monthly replacement cattle special. Many high quality pairs in town tonight with calves of all sizes, and some with cows bred back into the second stage. Demand was good for all classes in the offering, with many buyers looking to fill their greening pastures for the spring months ahead.
