As filed

A very nice selection of red and black Angus cows today, majority in good condition ready to calve, Aug thru Oct. Pairs consisted of running aged cows with large calves at side. A cooler, windy day in the area with scattered showers this past week. Next Auction dates for July 11th and 18th
