As filed

Another Saturday night special cow sale with a fully packed house despite single digit feels like temps outside. A 100 head dispersal and a few groups of bred heifers were standout highlights of the evening, along with many other high quality consignments of replacements of all classes. Supply was moderate to light and demand was very good with plenty of bidders and buyers wanting in on the action.
