As filed

Monthly replacement cow auction this week with some really fancy young pairs selling around the 6000.00 per pair mark the highlight of the sale. A big crowd on hand as it was a good day to be inside as it was a cold rainy day outside, and the local Exchange Bank sponsored a free brisket lunch to get things started before the noon sale.
