As filed

There was a large crowd this evening at the monthly replacement cattle special at the SLMC. Several breeding bulls were on offer, as well as some high quality bred cows and young pairs. A much lighter offering this month compared to last, despite dry forage conditions in the area, but spirits on moisture improved as rain started to fall during the sale for the first time in a while at this spot on I-44.
