It was a record breaking day for Mrnak Hereford Ranch on their 59th Annual sale. Outside it was blustery and cold day, but that didn’t deter people from filling the barn and eagerly bidding a this powerful set of bulls and females. This was by far the most powerful set of bulls ever offered by the Mrnak family. The commercial females were all Mrnak Hereford influenced, either from Mrnak Ranch or their bull customers.
A special feature of the sale was the chance to purchase select sons of Churchill Stanfield, selling three choice lots with the buyer picking one and the other retained back in the Mrnak program.
