NOV 19, 2022 - Heart of the Herd
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! First and foremost, a big congratulations to our Fergus High Football State Champions! Boys, I hope you know how proud this community is of you, not just for what you accomplished this weekend, but for who you are and what you represent. Thank you for representing Lewistown with class!
We held our annual Heart of the Herd Bred Cow Sale on a busy day in central Montana and ended up with a record number of cattle for this year’s sale with right at 1,700 head of breds offered – nearly twice the amount sold in the same sale in 2021. February calving heifers were in good demand with a premium for the cattle with a few bells and whistles – the $2,000 sale toppers were a nice package of Angus heifers, AI bred for February 12. Overall quality and disposition on the cattle offered was excellent, especially on the heifers and young cows.
