Buyers Pack the Seats and Push Englewood Spring Sale To $3678 Average

People packed the stands April 28 inside the new Englewood Farms sale facility. After settling in, buyers went after a good set of Limousin & Lim-Flex bulls. Soon thereafter, female buyers picked out their new breeding pieces; fall pairs were a particular favorite. The day and setting could not have been any better. A warm Kentucky sun lit up the rolling hills of the beautiful farmstead and meshed perfectly with the inviting ENGD hospitality.
