Following the 2010 Northwest Breeders Sale, Lynn & Lyleen Pope of Pope Ranches, Merrill, OR held their Mature Cowherd Dispersion. The offering was as uniform as you’ll ever find and the market was the same throughout. No extreme tops but solid & steady from the beginning to the end. Twenty six percent of the offering were born in 2002 and earlier. The offering was as gentle as you’ll ever find and sold at a rapid fire pace to buyers from Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Volume buyer honors went to Stafford Ranches, Prineville, OR taking 108 pairs. Indeed a grand tribute to a herd that has been producing quality Angus for 71 years. Certainly a job well done by all.
