The predictions of heavy snow and major winter storm didn’t deter the buyers and spectators from attending the annual Pyramid Beef Bull Sale. The McLennan and Frederickson families presented a fantastic set of coming 2-year-old and yearling Angus and Hereford bulls along with a great set of commercial bred heifers for the sale. There was a near capacity crowd on hand, despite the winter conditions outside.
