Achievement Award
The auction is ready for the crowds on sale
day. It was estimated that over 2000 people attended the sale.
Bonsall TV provided big screen TV's and a speaker system so that the
overflowing crowd could watch the sale from under the big tent.
Over 700 buyers sat in reserved seats
as the sale got under way shortly after 10:00 a.m. The final
calf was sold around 5:00 p.m.
Prospective buyers and onlookers look over the 6000 head
of cattle ready for sale from the catwalks above the pens.
