The 5th annual Ruby Cattle Company Livin’ The Dream sale took place on Friday, November 27, 2015, at the Ruby Cattle Company sale facility near Murray, IA. Thanksgiving day in Murray brought food, family and friends together along with rain…lots and lots of rain!! It wasn’t the most ideal of situations to showcase cattle, but when the moisture subsided by Friday morning, the Ruby crew and their guest breeders had the cattle looking fantastic. There was a super crowd that gathered and witnessed a fantastic sale that highlighted stellar open females and herd improving bred females. The bidding around ringside, on the phones and liveauctions.tv was frantic and resulted in the best Livin’ The Dream sale ever! The Livin’ The Dream sale includes sale hosts Nate, Leslie & Creed Ruby at Ruby Cattle Co., Nelson Family Farms, 102 River Ridge Cattle Company, RS&T Simmentals, Ruppert Cattle Company and Shipwreck Cattle Company.
