As filed

There was a standing room only crowd tonight for the last special cow sale of 2025 at Springfield LIvestock. The market was very active with bidders and buyers eager to fill up their orders before the end of the year. Multiple small groups of high quality bred heifers highlighted the offering, as well as a handful of breeding bulls ready for turnout, young pairs, and multiple sets of bred cows of all ages. All divisions of the offering easily found new homes and sold with very good demand.
