As filed

There was a standing room only crowd in town tonight for the monthly replacement cattle special at the SLMC. All consignments in the offering were in very good demand, with many bidders and buyers eager to fill orders. Some sale highlights included groups of bred heifers, young pairs, and a few high quality, breeding age bulls.
