This was by far the largest crowd on hand for this bull sale. The emphasis was placed on high quality bulls with strong genetics and balanced EPD's. There was a visible difference in the bulls with little or no performance information and or EPD's. Many of the buyers made the comment that they were switching to Angus bulls because of the demand for Angus sired calves.
Volume buyers were J & S Farm, Marion, La. and Prison Enterprises, Baton Rouge, La.
