Comments
The Fred Smith family welcomed guests to the new Fred & Eudell Smith Cattle Center on the ranch. The building was dedicated the evening prior to the sale by sons Fred and Irvin Smith. Marty Ropp of Allied Genetics was the featured speaker. It was a full house on sale day and local support was strong as 54 of 77 head sold to North Carolina buyers. All in, the offering sold into 9 states with steady demand across the board for FSC Ranch’s leading sires, GIBBS 3133A Mountaineer, GIBBS 1100-Y HY Deacon, GW Wolfpack 712A and GIBBS 4475B Pirate.
