Comments

What a difference a year makes. Last year Carmichael Herefords had to postpone their sale two times before the weather cooperated, this year they were welcomed with a beautiful, sunny day with the temperature pushing mid 40s.

This was the 51st annual bull sale for Carmichael Herefords. The bulls were in everyday working clothes, not overfed and in excellent sale condition. The near standing room only crowd on hand liked what they saw in the bulls and were aggressive in their bidding.

The top selling bull on the day was lot 1, KC L1 Domino 19009, a 3/19 son of HH Advance 7156E with epds of BW 1.5 WW 58 YW 87 Milk 32 selling to Leroy Scott, Highmore, SD for $16,000 (half interest and half possession).
