Wilgenbusch Charolais were again a supplier of herd bulls in their North of the 49th sale. White and red factor bulls both found strong demand with bulls selling into four provinces and two states. Igenity and Leptin testing along with Ultrasound data provided as much information for the buyers as any sale. A strong two year old sale was also seen with some large operations buying multiples.
