“The sale went very well, and the market was active,” said David Fowler, co-owner of the livestock commission. “The Internet was busy, and we had some new buyers both online and in person at the market center.”

Fowler added that the cattle looked good and they all held up very well through the cold weather — mainly because they were all pre-conditioned and in excellent health.
