A large crowd was on hand for this month's Special Cow Sale on a cold, wet day in North Missouri. A very large offering was available for interested buyers to sort through with many in the crowd taking home some new stock. Several strings of bred heifers highlighted the sale, nearly all bred black and most of them to start calving in February, with several cuts of the reputation consignments going to repeat customers. Saturday's sale also included a complete Gelbvieh dispersal, consisting of both registered and commercial cows and pairs of all ages and stages. Supply heavy, demand moderate to good.
