Wayne and Jacqui Mack wanted to cut back some of their workload and did so by having a reduction sale of the Charolais herd they have been building for the past 25 years. Interest from across the country saw cattle sell across Ontario, with the local buyers filling the seats and giving them a solid sale. There were many volume buyers and some new Charolais members started at this sale, which is always encouraging for the business.
