With over 30 years in the Charolais business, Bob and Elaine Digby felt it was time to slow down a little. Breeders from New Brunswick to Alberta took advantage of the opportunity to select from this time proven family operation. Many new people were buying their first Charolais and doing it in volume. Some good buys were made throughout, with the good quality animals finding strong demand.
