Comments:
It was an unseasonably warm President’s Day for the Frank Family to host their annual sale. Their customers and sale help deserved a good weather day after battling frigid cold and snow the last few years. A very large crowd gathered at the ranch to evaluate Red and Black Angus bulls. There were many bulls going to work in notable purebred operations, and some of the area’s top commercial breeders were in attendance. The bidding was fast paced and active for both breeds. Congratulations to the Frank crew on an awesome day.
