As filed

There was a full house tonight at the monthly replacement cattle special at the SLMC. The sale was highlighted by many high quality groups of bred heifers, bred cows, and even some fancy open Brahman heifer calves. The few pairs included in the offering were highly sought after, and all the replacements on offer created good demand on a heavy supply.
