As filed

There was a moderate crowd on hand for the SLMC monthly replacement cow and bull sale. There were several quality bred cows and pairs in the offering along with a large offering of good quality bred heifers. There was a large supply of aged bred cows. Demand was good despite the shortage of forages for many producers following the drought this past summer.
