Another big crowd gathered on a cold day, but the sun was shining. Mohnens have a large family and a good workforce. The chores are done all year long, and the sale site was ready and welcoming, with its good food, flowers, and candy. Many repeat buyers, made this sale active all day long. This was a large offering. The very top end was swept up by registered cattlemen, but the quality ran deep, and commercial cattlemen had a great selection.
