As filed

There was a large crowd in town tonight for the monthly replacement cattle sale at the SLMC. Many bidders were active throughout the evening looking to fill some greening spring pastures. Some high quality pairs with large calves were a sale highlight, as well as some breeding bulls and quality bred cows.
