Brian, Jamie Jo and Clay welcomed a large crowd to Sterling Livestock on Monday March 30. This year’s set of bulls was the deepest offering the program has had. The weaning weights continue to increase and the bulls continue to prove that they will perform well for commercial cattlemen across many different environments. The Axtell family continues to source top end herd bulls with this year marking the first year featuring sons from their exciting ranch sire RIDGE CRAFTSMAN 3620. Congratulations to the entire Axtell family on a great sale.
