As filed

Today's Bred Cow and Heifer Auction consisted mostly of Blk and BWF Cows bred to black bulls to calve Feb to March, a few consignments calving Apr and May. Dispersion offerings and replacement heifers sold good with a surprising amount of buyers at the sale due to the over 12 inches of snow in the Sandhills. Next Auction Date Jan 26th
