Well, we had a good sale at OBI Thursday. The top Angus bull sold for $5500 and four bulls sold for $5,000 or more. One of the high selling bulls had a 15inch ribeye along with the highest marbling in his test group (according to the auctioneer). A group of five, open, half sister heifers was the highest selling group of heifers at $1750 each. There were some nice (though not fancy) bred heifers sold at $1175, too. All the heifers offered for sale were black, with a couple of black baldies mixed in.

The top Hereford bull sold for $2900, a polled bull. He was a Felton's 517 grandson, gained 5.60 lbs per day on the 112 day test, adj YW of 1364. Good looking bull.
