A modest crowd witness a very well presented set of bulls and females at the 2nd RV Bar Angus sale. The Randy, Randan & Louis Vincent families had everything in tip top order. Cattle sold at conservative prices on a beautiful November day in Vernal. The commercial bred heifers sold in two drafts of four each at $1425 per head to Gary Jessen, Altonah, UT and to Morgan Batty, Vernal, UT. Cattle sold to three states. A program that is certainly on the right track of making great strides in the Utah Angus circles.
