There was a large crowd tonight for the monthly replacement cattle special at the SLMC. A high quality run of breeding bulls kicked off the sale ready to be turned out for spring breeding. A few herd dispersals with multiple large groups of 2-8 year old cows bred in the 2nd and 3rd stages, and groups of pairs with quality young calves at side created good demand.
