Thank you from the Blue River Gang!
The 41st Annual Blue River Gang Sale took place on Saturday, February 4th near Rising City, Nebraska. The sale was hosted by Ruth Simmentals, Makovicka Angus, Naber Farms, BADJ Cattle Company & Stutzman Families. It was a gorgeous Nebraska day that made for a huge crowd and a great sale! The all-video sale consisted of fancy open females, herd bull prospects, pairs and bred females.
