As filed

There was a large crowd in town tonight for the monthly replacement cattle sale at the SLMC. Many good Bred Heifers and high quality bred cows, breeding bulls and cow calf pairs were offered in tonight's auction. Buyers showed good demand for all classes of replacement cattle to turn out on spring pastures.
