As filed

Last bred heifer and cow sale of 2020 brought a large crowd of buyers to the seats with several buyers on the internet. Demand was mostly moderate with buyers bidding cautiously on the day. Most lots were sold in goose neck trailer loads with a few full loads. Most of the AI'd sired heifers brought roughly 200.00 per head more than their sisters that were bull bred. Bulk of the sale was bred to easy calving black Angus bulls with some bred to red Angus, Hereford and Charolais. Tuesday, December 29 will be a Weigh-up Auction with the next feeder cattle sale on Saturday January 9th.
