As filed

There was a full house tonight for the monthly replacement cattle special sale at Springfield Livestock. The afternoon was kicked off with a Gelbvieh showcase sale, and followed by the regular special sale. Sale highlights included large groups of fancy bred heifers and open heifers, and some standout pairs with one consignment of young cows with big fall calves at side bred back in the 2nd stage commanding $7000/hd. Some mixed quality throughout the bred cows and pairs led to slightly lower price and demand on the lower quality end of the sale, but the high quality groups in the offering created very good demand on a heavy supply.
