As filed

Nice run of bred cows and bred heifers on offer with the bulk being bred heifers and herd dispersion with the balance on other bred cows. Majority of the consignments were bred to Black Angus with some bred Red Angus or Charolais. Demand was moderate to very good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
