As filed

There was packed house tonight for the monthly replacement cattle special at the SLMC. There were options for everyone tonight with many groups of high quality bred heifers, pairs with calves of all sizes, bred cows, and a couple groups of open heifers ready for breeding this spring. Demand was very good with many hopes of early spring and forage on the horizon.
