My hard-working family filled in and allowed me to go galavanting this afternoon to the Black Ranches Nine Iron bull sale at Antioch, Nebraska.

There were about a hundred Angus bulls, 55 black composites of Angus/Gelbvieh/Simmental breeding and 10 red composites of the same.
The bulls had great quality and were in just right condition to show eye appeal but still be ready to go to work. The bulls sold for respectable
but affordable prices, and they all sold.

It was a well-run event which took just a few minutes over two hours to accomplish selling all the bulls and 13 saddle horses.
Three or four bulls were admitted to the ring at one time, and the bidder bought choice or as many as they wanted for that price.
Then the bidding started again until all of the bulls in the ring were sold.

I like the several bulls in at a time concept. Especial when all the ones you want are grouped together. That sale looks like one of those fun to go to whether you want a bull or not sales. I like to go to my neighbors Hereford sale for that reason. It is an event. :wink:
