Thursday sale consisted of harvest cattle, bred cows and cow/calf pairs on this early summer sale. A very large supply of harvest cows and bulls came to town with several lots of cows going back to the country. Near 1350 head of harvest cattle were on the books. Bulk of the bred cows will start to calve in August for 30 to 75 days calving period. Most of the calves had spring vaccination shots.
