As filed

There was a full house on hand tonight for the last monthly replacement cattle special of the year at the SLMC. Several consignments of quality young pairs, bred heifers, and bred cows were all in high demand and had no problem finding new homes. Supply was moderate and bidding on the internet and in person was active on every lot through the ring throughout the evening.
