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 spring pastures. Some high quality pairs with large calves and several complete herd dispersals were a sale highlight, as well as some breeding

bulls and home raised bred cows.
