A very large enthusiastic crowd was on hand to select extremely high quality cattle in every category. Even with the large offering, the strength was deep in every faucet of the sale. Several of the show prospects did very well and were purchased and entered for the SESA show the next morning which had nearly 100 entries. Equally encouraging was the demand from many areas as cattle sold to Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee and Arkansas.
