As filed

There was a large crowd present for the monthly replacement cattle special tonight at the SLMC. A large offering with many different groups of bred cattle and pairs including a few registered cattle in the mix. A variety of high quality breeding bulls were also included from multiple reputation breeders. Demand was good for the high quality replacements as producers are ready to turn out onto spring forage.
