Anyone go to, or watch the Bear Mtn. female sale? THOUGHTS

Just wondering if anybody watched on the internet or went to the sale, first one in Nebraska and the cattle looked very good!

I wqtched on LA.tv.  I think the top show heifer sold for 8000 but some sold under 3000.  The cows and bred heifers were pretty cheap I thought most brought between 1200 and 1500.  Didn't see the offering in person so I don't know what they looked like.  I know the auctioneer kept saying the cattle hadn't been pushed very hard.

After making the trip up almost daily for the past two weeks to help get females ready, I sure did go to the sale .  Top selling female was lot 1A (6807 daughter) for $11,000.  Show prospects, for the most part, sold very well for their first sale in Nebraska.  I believe they averaged right around the $2,000-$2,250 mark; Some higher, some lower.  Personal favorites of the sale included lot 10 (EXT daughter), lot 1A (6807) and lot 7A (Owhyee).  Donors I felt sold well too, I know the double bred Primrose 2424 had quite a few eyes on her, can't recall her price though.  Bred heifers I believe went fairly cheap averaging around the $1,800 mark from what I heard (I was outside blowing cattle off before they went in the ring, so I only heard the price on a few).  This being their first female sale since their move, I was impressed with the turn out at the barn, as well as the amount of bids off LiveAuctions.  Overall, I would venture to say it was a success.
