As filed

First reported auction in three weeks a trend is not applicable. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Nice offering of yearling feeders, weaned calves and bawling calves along with one consignment of "AI" bred heifers bred for 1 day on offer. There was also a 15 year old broke to ride AQHA registered Bay gelding on the consignment sheet selling for $3000.00.
