This was by far the best sale to date for the Mississippi Angus Association. The crowd was tremendous and the demand was great, especially for the young cattle that were bred AI or had AI calves at their side. This sale featured the final sale out of the H & J and Sons Angus in Pass Christian, Miss. Harris Ladner has been a concerned Angus breeder and supporter for many years. His cattle were in excellent condition and were tremendous milkers. The enthusiasm was high and everyone was excited about the Angus industry.
