P Bar S Proof of Progress III Limousin Sale

You couldn’t have written a better script for a sale setting at the beautiful P Bar S Ranch, October 2. The “little ranch with the big genetics” put on a first-class event for all attendees at the ranch just outside of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Registered buyers started the day with a chance to win $5,000 in sale credit by hitting a hole-in-one on ranch owner Paul Sisemore’s putting green. Unfortunately, no one was successful. A local band provided the afternoon’s entertainment as the day’s excitement continued into the sale ring. The entire sale grossed $337,345 as 95 Limousin and Lim-Flex® lots averaged $3,551.
