Sitz
Family Hosts 40th Annual Angus Bull Sale
Burwell, Nebraska
The
Mike Sitz Family held their 40th Annual Bull Sale, Monday, February
4, 2013, at the Burwell Livestock Market, Burwell, Nebraska. 70
Coming-Two-Year-Old bulls averaged $4475.
Potential buyers did not have to battle snow and ice, which is the
usual tradition of Sitz’s sale day, but there was a sense
of apprehension from the crowd as the drought weighs heavily on
each cattleman’s mind.
