A large crowd was on hand at the Four State Stockyards for the Special Replacement bred heifers and cows, cow/calf pairs and breeding bull sale. Buyers showed very good demand and there was a good selection of home raised replacement cows with a couple of complete herd dispersals in the offering for this Friday night sale.
