Weller Ranch from Kadoka, South Dakota, hosted a nice crowd for their annual production sale. An outstanding set of cattle came to town, including both bulls and bred females. I felt that this was the best set of bulls that Bill had ever sold. They were really deep-bodied, sound-made bulls that looked the part. Many of the commercial bred females sold to repeat buyers.
