As filed

Today's auction started the day with weigh-ups, followed by the Russell Angus Bull Sale, then on to Dispersions and Liquidations of Bred cows, Bred heifers, other Bred Females and the completion of weigh ups to finish up the day. Demand was good with active internet bidding for all offerings. Another cold day in the Sandhills with expected snow and wind tonight. Safe travels to all! Next Auction Date: Mar 13th Special Feeder and Breedable Heifer Sale, Mar 27th Regular Sale
