Demand was good to very good for the 19th annual Montana Angus Female Bonanza. Supply consisted of high quality, uniform, commercial Angus bred heifers and young cows as well as a dispersion of registered Angus young cows. Market activity was active to very active with many buyers on hand from all over the country as well as on the internet and phone actively bidding on offerings. Heifer offerings were A.I. bred to Angus herd sires or natural serviced to high quality sons of popular Angus herd sires. Most AI bred heifers were set to calve in tight windows of 3-5 days and all pasture bred heifers and cows calve in 30 days or less. Cows and heifers were in light to moderate flesh condition. All AI heifer offerings were sorted for the sex of the calf, with all purchases tagged for sex. All cows were sold with mixed sexes.
