As filed

There was a full house tonight for this Thursday evening replacement cattle special at the JRS. Multiple groups of bred heifers highlighted the offering, as well as some groups of bred cows and high quality pairs. Supply was moderate and demand was very good with many bidders and buyers in person and online.
