What A Night!! The Saturday night lights were shining brightly at JSF. This was the largest offering of same brand bulls ever sold at auction in the Shorthorn Breed, and what an offering it was. The sire groups represented were the highest quality ever sold in this sale. These bulls had the power and the numbers to make them elite among any sold in a long time. The bidding was super active from the seats, on the phones and especially on the internet. Online bidders purchased 51 lots in the sale. Bulls were sold from California to Virginia in the States as well as bulls purchased in Canada. There were 15 lots that sold for $10,000 or more. It was a pleasure to witness this event. Congratulations to Derek, Brock and all involved in the presentation of this leading Shorthorn sale.
