I went over to Sooline to see the cattle yesterday afternoon and was back for the sale today. What an amazing set of functional, sound, moderate, well fleshed cattle! I had to leave before the sale was half over, but I heard it grossed over $1.8 million. It will be interesting to see how many cattle sold on the internet and I expect it was a bunch. There was internet bidding on the majority of the lots I saw sold. Cattle sold to all parts of Canada and the US. Huge support from US breeders. I spoke with one Angus breeder from the US today, and he said he had never seen so many thick, deep fleshed trouble free cattle that still had good performance in them. There was lots of good prices, but like most big sales, I thought there was some gfood buying being done.... like a few young cows who had $10,000- $12,000 calves who sold for $3500- $4000.
