It was a cold and windy day at the “You Buy, We Bid” Annual Gill Red Angus Bull Sale, but it was hot inside, as this was the most bulls ever sold by Gill Red Angus, and it ended up being their best average as well. Several times during the day it was herd that the quality at Gill Red Angus is as deep and good as any other sale in the industry.
