Cattlemen's Gathering
Unfortunately, due to the strict COVID-19 restrictions in our state/county we've made the difficult decision to cancel the live auction and Cattlemen's Gathering seminar portions of our 2021 Annual Fall Female Sale Event.
We look forward to reviving this community event in 2022, see you then!
