As filed

There was a large crowd on hand tonight for the monthly replacement cattle special at the SLMC. Multiple full herd dispersals in the offering brought in high quality young bred cattle and pairs as well as some groups of sought after bred heifers bred to calving ease bulls. Despite snowy weather moving into the area tonight and many producers dwindling hay inventories, demand stayed very good with many active bidders and buyers present.
