The E.V. Smith Dairy Complete Dispersal was held in sweltering Shorter, AL at the farm today, June 7. They tell us that this is nothing compared to later in the summer, but it is safe to say that the heat is a shock to most of us that endured a bitter cold winter!

Along with the gnats, the crowd filled the JMS tent and bidding was steady from all corners and from the internet.

The complete dispersal sold 121 head and averaged $1,274.17 with a gross of $154,175. Two internet bidders participated, from California and Nebraska. Buyers participated from AL, CA, GA, LA, MS, & TX.
