As filed

There was a large crowd on hand tonight for the monthly replacement cattle special at the SLMC. High quality breeding bulls, young pairs, registered cattle and heavy bred cows were all on offer tonight and in very good demand. Forage conditions have improved in the area in the past month and producers are feeling more comfortable adding some replacements to the herd. Internet bidding was also active throughout the night and all lots in the offering easily found new pastures.
