Auctioneer: Chris Poley Sale Manager: D Bar L Livestock

The Robertsons have always bred good performance cattle and we saw a full house of both commercial customers and purebred breeders come to buy a herdbull or to add some of their top females to their herds. From the first animal in the ring, Merit 8676U, to the last being the heifer calf donated to the Grant Moffat & Dale Norheim memorial funds, the sale was strong. There were many volume buyers as cattle sold to five provinces and the 18 bull calves averaged over $3,900 with a top of $6,000.
